• There is no right to apply for a grant to be made out of the Solicitors Compensation Fund in respect of any losses caused by dishonesty;

• Although there is no legal requirement on S&S Solutions to provide professional indemnity insurance cover for the work of S&S Solutions, the work of S&S Solutions is in fact covered by Simmons & Simmons LLP’s professional indemnity insurance policy;

• Communications between S&S Solutions and its clients are not covered by legal professional privilege; and

• The protections in the SRA Accounts Rules 2011 in relation to client money do not apply.
