Godwin-Austen Ltd is a licensed body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since October 2024 and recorded under SRA number 8008058. The SRA record lists 1 practising office: the head office at The Business Center 527 Moseley Road, Birmingham, B12 9BU. It also trades as Godwin Austen Solicitors, UK Employment Law and HR Services, Settlement Agreements Solicitors and GA Solicitors.

In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 9 areas of law: Intellectual Property, Landlord and tenant, Commercial property, Criminal, Corporate (non-listed), Family, Immigration, Residential property 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 automated check on 28 August 2026 could not read ukemploymentlaw.uk, so look for a fees page there or ask the firm.
The head office postcode B12 9BU falls within Birmingham (West Midlands), where the SRA register lists 406 authorised firms with a practising office, 149 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 Godwin-Austen Ltd 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 ukemploymentlaw.uk or ask the firm for the figures in writing. Compare against the verified Birmingham band of £700 to £1,700 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
