What's going on with this law firm?

Hi
I've had correspondence from this legal firm. So I looked them up.
They claim to be called Hayes Connor. But the SRA shows as law firm of that name no longer registered: http://www.sra.org.uk/solicitors/firm-b ... 20332.page
Checking the HC website they give a registration which, when searched on the SRA website, applies to: https://www.sra.org.uk/solicitors/firm- ... 32067.page
This is the HC websiter: https://www.hayesconnor.co.uk/contact/
They are presumably linked (geographical location etc would suggest it?). So, is the latter 'trading as'?* And is that OK for a law firm? I'd have thought they should be more open and not want to trade under the name of a 'closed' business?
*(actually, I have just double checked one of their letters and it does say HC is a 'trading style' of FD)
Is it safe to use them do people think?
