Paris Smith LLP is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2011 and recorded under SRA number 408233. The SRA record lists 3 practising offices: the head office at 1 London Road, Southampton, SO15 2AE, plus 2 further offices in Winchester and Bournemouth. The register carries 1 previous name, most recently Paris Smith & Randall LLP. Its constitution is recorded as limited liability partnership.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 16 areas of law: Children, Non-litigation, Residential property, Wills and trusts, Family, ADR, Employment, Intellectual Property, Commercial property, Probate, Landlord and tenant, Litigation, Corporate (non-listed), Personal Injury, Criminal and Immigration. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website; the check on 28 August 2026 found prices published for other services (general) but not for conveyancing, so ask the firm for its conveyancing figures in writing.

Areas of law reported to the SRA
Self-reported by the firm in its most recent annual return to the SRA ("the areas of law that the law firm has told us they delivered"). A lagging description of past work, not a live service list, a specialism claim or a quality mark; it may be up to a year old and is blank for newly authorised firms.
Because Paris Smith LLP reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. Our check on 28 August 2026 found prices for other services only, not conveyancing. Look for a fees page at parissmith.co.uk or ask the firm for the figures in writing. Compare against the verified Southampton band of £800 to £2,100 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
