Finding a solicitor in London

London is one of the world's busiest legal centres, and law firms in London range from global City practices to small high street offices. The Royal Courts of Justice on the Strand host the High Court, and the Rolls Building houses the Commercial Court and other business courts. The city is also a leading seat for international arbitration, which draws clients from every continent.

Most people deal with solicitors, who are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. You can check a firm or an individual on the SRA register and look for the SRA digital badge on firm websites. Barristers, who usually argue cases in court, answer to the Bar Standards Board. Complaints about service go first to the firm and then to the Legal Ombudsman.

Residents most often look for help with conveyancing, divorce and children matters, employment disputes, wills and probate. Expats and new arrivals frequently need immigration advice on visas, sponsorship and settlement. Businesses hire London solicitors for contracts, company formation, commercial leases, financing and litigation. Many firms in the capital serve international clients and work in languages such as Arabic, Polish, Mandarin, Hindi, Spanish and French.

Fees vary widely across law firms in London. Hourly rates in central London are higher than elsewhere in England, so ask for a written estimate and the basis of charging before you instruct anyone. Fixed fees are common for conveyancing, simple wills and some visa applications, and conditional fee agreements are used in many personal injury claims. Compare a few firms, check their SRA record and contact them directly. Narrow down by practice area below.
