Areas of law reported to the SRA

Wills and trustsProbateIntellectual PropertyResidential propertyLitigationSocial WelfareCommercial propertyEmploymentADRPlanningCorporate (listed)FamilyPersonal Injury

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.

Conveyancing prices: published by the firm under SRA Transparency Rule 1

Because Shakespeare Martineau LLP reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. A pricing page was found on 28 August 2026 but its conveyancing scope is unconfirmed. The prices shown above, read 7 October 2026 from the firm's website, are for other services and do not include conveyancing. For conveyancing, ask the firm for a written quote. Compare against the verified Birmingham band of £700 to £1,700 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
