  • Donnellsons (London) LLP (FRN 589362) is an AR of Corbel Partners Limited (FRN 429142). When you use Donnellsons (London)'s services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Donnellsons (London), complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.

Website, phone number and address

Compare these against whatever you were given. Scammers clone real firm names and reference numbers but use their own phone number and website, so a detail that does not match the register is the clearest warning sign there is.
