Shoosmiths LLP is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since August 2012 and recorded under SRA number 569065. The SRA record lists 13 practising offices: the head office at 1 Bow Churchyard, London, EC4M 9DQ, plus 12 further offices in Fareham, Northampton, Birmingham, Manchester, Nottingham and Reading and 6 other towns. It also trades as Shoosmiths and Swiitch. Its constitution is recorded as limited liability partnership.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 8 areas of law: Residential property, Personal Injury, Planning, Corporate (non-listed), Commercial property, Corporate (listed), Employment and Litigation. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website; the automated check on 28 August 2026 could not read shoosmiths.com, so look for a fees page there or ask the firm.
The head office postcode EC4M 9DQ falls within City of London (London), where the SRA register lists 754 authorised firms with a practising office, 178 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 Shoosmiths LLP reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. Look for a fees page at shoosmiths.com or ask the firm for the figures in writing. Compare against the verified London (Central) band of £1,200 to £4,500 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
