FMC LAW LTD
Company number 06340985 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
FMC Law Ltd is in a state of terminal decline following the revocation of its SRA licence in May 2024 and the cessation of new business. The dramatic 97% drop in cash reserves and the steady erosion of net assets over the last five years are not signs of trading distress, but rather the natural unwinding of a law firm's balance sheet as client funds are returned and profits extracted. The company's remaining health rests almost entirely on a £1.54 million unlisted investment, and the focus must now shift to orderly closure and the tax-efficient extraction of remaining value.
