It has come to our attention that there are emails circulating purporting to be from Lewis Silkin, whether in reference to the firm or a Barrister, or Attorney called Lewis Silkin. Many of these emails refer to the ‘last will and testament of Dr. Mortimer D. Sackler’ or a charitable donation from Mr. B. Raymond Buxton. These emails are not being sent by Lewis Silkin the law firm and we recommend that anyone receiving such an email deletes it without replying or entering into any correspondence with the sender.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) keeps details of such communications and you can find out how to report fraudulent behaviour on their website http://www.sra.org.uk/consumers/scam-alerts/scam-alerts.page
