    Well do you sign up with them? Sounds very much like a scam

    It will be KYC/Anti-Money Laundering requirements that apply to solicitors as well as banks. 

    The fact you dont know them is the concern not the fact that solicitors are asking for details. For this reason I would be speaking to them before uploading anything.

    You need to give more information as we don't even know if you are dealing with them or what you are dealing with them about as it is very vague.

    If you are dealing with them, call them and ask if they sent the email.
