Scam Warning

Emails, instant messages, text messages, and social media messages have been sent to multiple recipients, falsely claiming to be from personnel at Latham & Watkins. These emails and messages are financial scams or phishing scams and have taken several forms, including:

• Details about an unclaimed inheritance for the recipient, with the target of the fraud asked to advance fees
• Details about a financial settlement, with the target of the fraud asked to prepare a marriage license
• Details about a tax liability, with the target of the fraud asked to make payment or face litigation
• Details about work-from-home and other employment opportunities, including a request to interview using online chat or text messaging
• Attachments with links to phishing sites
• Fake invoices

Some email and telephone scams are reported to the Solicitors Regulation Authority and details can be found on its Scam Alerts page, for example:  https://www.sra.org.uk/consumers/scam-alerts/2023/march/jessica-walker-latham-watkins-london-llp/

Latham & Watkins LLP, Latham & Watkins (London) LLP, our affiliates, and our lawyers have no involvement in these or any other scams. Names of our personnel are being used without our authorization.
