Who We Are
Leonard Legal is built on the belief that every client deserves straightforward advice, transparent pricing, and strong representation. Whether you're facing a family crisis, planning for your future, buying your first home, defending against criminal charges, navigating UK immigration, or growing your business, you deserve a solicitor who truly listens and fights for your best interests.
Our solicitors come from diverse legal backgrounds, bringing together wide-ranging experience across multiple practice areas:
Family Law
Our family law team understands that family issues are personal and often emotionally challenging. We support clients with divorce, separation, child arrangements, financial settlements, prenuptial agreements, and domestic abuse protection—providing clear guidance and strong advocacy while prioritising long-term wellbeing.
Immigration Law
Navigating UK immigration rules requires expertise and attention to detail. Our immigration solicitors assist individuals and businesses with visa applications, settlement routes (ILR), appeals, spouse visas, skilled worker sponsorship, and British citizenship. We’ve helped families reunite and professionals build their futures in the UK.
Property & Conveyancing
Whether you're a first-time buyer, an investor, or a business acquiring commercial premises, our conveyancing team ensures a smooth, stress-free transaction. We handle residential and commercial property sales, purchases, remortgaging, leases, right-to-buy, and transfer of equity with efficiency and care.
Civil Litigation
When disputes arise whether involving contracts, property, debt, or landlord-tenant matters our litigation solicitors work strategically to protect your interests. We aim to resolve issues through negotiation or mediation, but provide robust court representation when needed.
Criminal Defence
Facing criminal charges is extremely stressful. Our criminal defence solicitors offer immediate police station representation, strong defence in magistrates’ and crown courts, and specialist support for driving offences and fraud cases. We protect your rights and fight for the best possible outcome.
Business & Corporate Law
From start-ups to established companies, businesses rely on clear and reliable legal guidance. We assist with contracts, company formation, shareholder agreements, regulatory compliance, employment matters, and commercial disputes providing practical, commercially-minded advice that supports long-term success.
