    The answer depends on all of the circumstances of the case, including the type of wrong you're alleging, the value of the claim, the kind of company involved, and whether or not the case will be over and paid up (whichever way it goes) before Brexit.

    I'm afraid you'd be best asking a solicitor this question. If you are concerned that a solicitor here will take on your case knowing you would be better off engaging a UK solicitor, just bear in mind that the solicitor will in most cases be banking on your case being successful and your solicitor's fees getting paid by the other side. This disincentivises dishonestly taking on business that would be better off elsewhere.

    Thanks. I didn't know legally if they could. Too be honest they have now held their hands up and admitted wrong doing I'm looking for the money I have lost back.
