Central London Law Firm - Practice for sale
This well-established Central London law firm specialises in criminal defence, with 95% of its revenue derived from legal aid cases. The firm has recently extended its Specialist Quality Mark (SQM) to September 2027. In addition, it has successfully passed a Peer Review which should be effective until 2027.
The firm is in the process of applying for a 10 year contract with the Legal Aid Agency (LAA) from 2025, ensuring continued eligibility for legal aid work until at least 2036.
The firm is conveniently located in Zone 1, within modern, air-conditioned offices with large conference room/library, open plan and private offices and a range of amenities, including concierge service, and lift access.
The location benefits from excellent transport links and is within walking distance of major national rail stations, numerous bus routes and multiple London Underground lines.
The current lease on the office space runs until the end of June 2026, but there is a strong possibility for an extension under new ownership. In addition, the firm has a strong online presence and solid own client base.
With a turnover continually over £1m in the previous financial years and around £200k in work in progress (WIP), this practice presents an excellent opportunity for potential buyers looking to acquire a successful and reputable law firm.

This practice is within 30 minutes of Milton Keynes, Northampton, and one hour from both Cambridge, and Watford.
Acquisition or Merger Opportunity
Well-established medium-sized London City law firm seeking to acquire or merge with a practice based anywhere in England.
The firm provides services in commercial, property, employment, litigation, criminal, immigration and family law.
Flexible acquisition or merger structures will be considered, including firms where the owner is looking to retire immediately, transition gradually, or remain involved for the long term.
Practices holding LEXCEL accreditation and/or a Legal Aid Agency contract would be of particular interest, although neither is essential.
Location is not a barrier, with home-based, office-based and hybrid practices all considered.
The priority is finding the right strategic fit rather than a particular financial position.
All enquiries will be treated in the strictest confidence and without obligation.
