Barcan+kirby LLP is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since September 2012 and recorded under SRA number 568743. The SRA record lists 5 practising offices: the head office at 111-117 Regent Street, Bristol, BS15 8LJ, plus 4 further offices in Bristol. It also trades as Barcan+Kirby. The register carries 1 previous name, most recently Kirby Sheppard LLP. Its constitution is recorded as limited liability partnership.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 11 areas of law: Residential property, Commercial property, Family, Wills and trusts, Litigation, Children, Landlord and tenant, Probate, Corporate (non-listed), Personal Injury and Employment. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website; the check of barcankirby.co.uk on 28 August 2026 did not find a published conveyancing price page, so ask the firm for the figures the rules require.
The head office postcode BS15 8LJ falls within South Gloucestershire (South West), where the SRA register lists 28 authorised firms with a practising office, 16 of them reporting residential property work.

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 Barcan+kirby 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 did not find a conveyancing price page. Look for a fees page at barcankirby.co.uk or ask the firm for the figures in writing. Compare against the national average of £1,575 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
