The SRA record carries no areas of law for this firm. The SRA collects these from firms' annual returns, so a blank entry usually means the firm was authorised too recently to have filed one (this firm's authorisation date is 1 November 2011), or that it reported none. It cannot be read as a statement that the firm offers no services.
