In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 7 areas of law: Wills and trusts, Litigation, Corporate (non-listed), Landlord and tenant, Commercial property, Residential property and Probate.

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 Athena Solicitors LLP reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. Read them at athlaw.co.uk (conveyancing price page located 28 August 2026, with a fee table). Compare against the verified Manchester band of £700 to £1,800 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
