​

The Firm is neither authorised by the UK Financial Conduct Authority, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA, the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority, nor a similar regulatory body for the provision of financial services, but we can undertake certain activities in relation to investments which are limited in scope and are incidental to our legal services or which may reasonably be regarded as a necessary part of our legal service.

​

​

Carsted Rosenberg is not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or the Prudential Regulation Authority of England. Carsted Rosenberg act as legal advisers; it is not part of our role to give advice on the merits of investment transactions. Any investment decision is for our clients to make and no communication by us should be treated as an invitation or inducement to our clients to engage in investment activity.

 

While the LLP structure is the preferred legal form for most professional services firms, the decision by the United Kingdom to leave the European Union and continued legal uncertainty as to England & Wales and the European Union has resulted in a conversion of the LLP into a firm registered under the laws of Switzerland under the laws of the European Economic Area. As of 1 January 2016, Carsted Rosenberg Advokatfirma has by universal succession acquired all rights and obligations of (i) Carsted Rosenberg LLP, a limited liability partnership formed under the laws of England and Wales pursuant to the provisions of the Limited Liability Partnership Act 2000 as a limited liability partnership in England & Wales at One Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5DY, United Kingdom registered with the Registrar of Companies for England & Wales with partnership no. OC393746; and (ii) the service company Carsted Rosenberg Partners Ltd. registered at Companies House with UK Co No.: 08939911 at 145-157 St. John Street, London EC1V 4PV United Kingdom.

​

9. Illegal Use of our Name

​

There are illegal schemes in operation where the name of law firms and/or the names of its lawyers and representatives are being abused for various fraudulent emails, letters and phone calls. You should exercise caution if you receive any unexpected or unusual communications which purport to come from a member of our firm or on behalf of our firm. Genuine emails from Carsted Rosenberg use the domain "@carstedrosenberg.com". We are aware that there are recurring attempts by third parties to use domain names similar to legitimate law firms to impersonate lawyers and other employees. If you need to check with us whether a communication is genuine, please contact us to confirm before replying or taking further action.

​

Fraudulent communications involving use of a law firm or a lawyer’s name typically seek to deceive a victim by atttempting to divert payment to an alternative account, issue fictitious invoices or reimbursements, or suggesting that funds can be obtained against payment of a fee upfront for various fictitious expenses. Another variant is to send demands for money in relation to non-existent claims. Sometimes fake documents referring to a firm's name and/or its lawyers are sent to the victim.

​

If you receive any instruction to pay to a different bank account, please contact Carsted Rosenberg before making payment, even if that instruction appears to have come from Carsted Rosenberg. You should exercise heightened caution and contact two separate members of the firm by email and telephone for confirmation. 

​

Common themes include:

​

• emails purporting to be from Carsted Rosenberg and attempting to divert payment of an invoice to an unauthorised bank account.

• emails purporting to be from Carsted Rosenberg inviting you to review purpoted documents stored in the cloud or on a third party server.

• inheritances from overseas or unknown relatives or individuals with the same surname as the recipient

• bogus review websites

• fake barristers misusing our name regarding funds to be released from banks

• contracts purporting to be drafted by us for your review.

• use of our telephone numbers by fake credit consolidators

• offers of internships after payment of an 'administrative fee'

• WhatsApp messages which purport to attach an electronic contact card for one of our partners and which invite the recipient to contact the partner to discuss a new transaction.

 

We are not involved in these transactions.

 

This is not an exhaustive list and new deceptions are being invented all the time. Please remain vigilant for your own protection. These deceits aim to get your money and/or obtain your personal data for use in other illegal activities. They may not always request money or personal details on initial contact but will often do so after you respond.

 

Please also note that, we do not use Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo email addresses, nor any other similar email addresses. Please be aware that spoofing may occur where an email is masquerading as coming from a sender or sharing some form of document which will require you to enter e.g. your login details and password to a third-party site such as Microsoft Sharepoint or similar. You should remain alert to communications involving typosquatting (i.e. similar spellings to our website domain) and other domain mimicry by fraudulent actors.

 

We recommend you delete scam emails and do not reply to scam letters. If you need to check with us whether a communication is genuine, please contact us.

​

The Solicitors Regulation Authority also maintains a list of known scams involving use of the names of UK law firms which can be found here. When a firm's or individual's identity has been copied exactly (or cloned), due diligence is necessary. If you receive correspondence claiming to be from a firm or an individual, or information of a similar nature, you should conduct your own due diligence by checking the authenticity of the correspondence by contacting the law firm directly by reliable and established means. You can contact the SRA to find out if individuals or firms are regulated and authorised by the SRA and verify an individual's or firm's practising details. For Danish lawyers, you can consult the Danish Bar & Law Society. Other verification methods, such as checking public records (e.g. telephone directories and company records) may be required in other circumstances.
