Warning: Correspondence misusing the name of Amritpal Singh, Sadia Bhatti and Renaissance Law Limited

22 April 2026

Correspondence has been sent from an individual purporting to be 'Amritpal Singh' from the firm Renaissance Law Limited. The correspondence misuses the name of a genuine firm and genuine solicitors (see details below).

What is the scam?

The SRA has been informed that an 'Amritpal Singh' has been contacting individuals detained at Immigration Removal Centres and offering to represent them on their immigration matter.

The SRA has seen emails sent from 'Justiceshields365@outlook.com' and 'Ircjaspreetsingh@gmail.com'.

We are aware that the individual has used the telephone number '07425 767114'

Any business or transactions through the correspondence described above is not undertaken by a firm or individual authorised or regulated by the SRA.

Is there a genuine firm or person?

The SRA authorises and regulates a genuine solicitor called Sadia Bhatti, whose SRA ID number is 818979.

The SRA authorises and regulates a genuine firm of solicitors called Renaissance Law Limited (SRA ID 8008062) whose address is 413 Hoe Street, London, E17 9AP. The genuine telephone number is 02085211100 and their email domain is @renaissancesolicitors.co.uk. Renaissance Law does not employ a genuine solicitor by the name of 'Amritpal Singh'.

The genuine solicitor Sadia Bhatti and the genuine firm Renaissance Law Limited have confirmed that they do not have any connection with the individual or correspondence referred to in the above alert.

The SRA authorises and regulates multiple individuals called Amritpal Singh. None of those solicitors are believed to be genuinely connected with the correspondence referred to in the above alert.

What should I do?

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 the above firm(s) or individual(s), or information of a similar nature to that described, 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. Other verification methods, such as checking public records (e.g. telephone directories and company records) may be required in other circumstances.
