Sophie Khan & Co Ltd. Leicestere High-profile solicitor’s firm shut down over dishonesty suspicions
A prominent solicitor specialising in actions against the state is being investigated over suspicions of dishonesty, it has emerged.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority confirmed this week it has intervened into the practice of Soophia Khan and closed down her Leicester practice Sophie Khan & Co Ltd. The regulator said there is reason to suspect dishonesty on the part of Khan as the sole manager of the business. It is also alleged that Khan and the firm had failed to comply with the SRA principles, Code of Conduct and accounts rules. No further details were given.

The Leicester practice has been subject to intervention by the SRA
An SRA spokesperson said: ‘We cannot say any more at this time as our investigation is ongoing.’
As a solicitor she received poor reviews:
Mr Harper said:
Really poor advice and it feels like Ms Khan is more interested in social media posts than criminal law. If my case would get her profile higher she would take it, instead, she only comments on cases of which she knows will make headlines. The Law Society has previously sacked her from held positions and therefore I suggest anyone wanting a laser should seriously consider their options very carefully.
