Repossession and working as a solicitor

Hi. Does anyone know if house repossession prevents solicitors from practising?

I would check with the Law Society. Anything which puts financial pressure on an individual who holds client funds might be a concern for them, on the premise that anyone who is in a tight-spot financially would be more likely than others to commit financial fraud.

I'm speaking from the experience of someone who used to audit solicitor's practices for the annual independent auditor report to the Law Society.

If I was you, I would inform them. Best to be forthright about these things. Honestly though, I don't think they would have a problem with you continuing to work (how else would you get your house back if they didn't allow you to continue to work!). In my dealings with them, I always found the Law Society to be very reasonable.
