The Law Society of Zimbabwe (LSZ) has warned members of the public about the existence of a bogus law firm called Simbi Legal Aid which is currently advertising its services on social media platforms.
In a statement on Tuesday, LSZ executive secretary Edward Mapara said their investigations have established that the entity is a front of a law firm which is currently under probe for unprofessional conduct. Mapara said:
It has come to the attention of the LSZ that there is an entity advertising itself on social media platforms as a provider of legal services. The entity is called Simbi Legal Aid.
Investigations conducted by the Society show that the entity is a sham.
The entity is a front for a law firm which is currently under probe for unprofessional conduct.
Be advised accordingly.
