Why clients in Solihull choose Pearcelegal

We are a full-service Solihull firm, not a chain or a national brand with a local email address. That has a few practical consequences for the people who instruct us:

The same solicitor from start to finish. You will not be handed off to a call centre or moved between paralegals. The person you speak to at your first appointment is the person who runs your matter.

Local court and land-registry knowledge. We appear regularly at the Birmingham Civil and Family Justice Centre at 33 Bull Street, understand how Solihull Magistrates' Court lists work, and know the quirks of the residential conveyancing market across B91, B92, B93 and B94.

Continuity across generations. Many of our private-client files began with a will drafted for a parent and now handle the estate, the surviving spouse's care planning, and the next generation's property purchases. That continuity matters when a family faces bereavement, divorce or a sudden change in circumstances.

Transparent fixed fees where we can offer them. Standard wills, uncontested probate, straightforward residential conveyancing and no-fault divorce work are quoted on a fixed-fee basis. Where a matter is more complex, we agree the fee structure in writing before you commit.

We are a licensed body (ABS) authorised by the SRA to provide all reserved legal activities, and we carry professional indemnity insurance in excess of the SRA minimum.

Divorce, financial remedy, child arrangements, cohabitation disputes and civil partnerships. Cases are usually issued through the online divorce service and heard, where a hearing is needed, at the Birmingham Civil and Family Justice Centre. We work in a plain, non-combative way and use non-court dispute resolution (mediation, collaborative law, arbitration) wherever it is likely to produce a better outcome for the family.

What happens when you contact us

Initial call. A member of our team will take a short summary of the matter and, where appropriate, offer a free 15-minute consultation with the relevant solicitor.

Conflict check and client care. We run standard SRA conflict and ID checks and send you a client-care letter setting out scope, fees, funding options and complaints procedure before any chargeable work begins.

First meeting. In person at 2 The Square, by telephone, or by video, whichever suits you. Evening or Saturday appointments can be arranged by prior agreement.

Ongoing communication. A named solicitor, a direct dial and email, and regular written updates at agreed intervals.

If you are unhappy with any part of our service, our internal complaints procedure is set out in your client-care letter. You also have the right, in defined circumstances, to complain to the Legal Ombudsman and, on regulatory matters, to the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a solicitor in Solihull, or will a national firm do?
For much legal work the location of your solicitor no longer matters, because advice can be given by video and documents signed remotely. Local matters more where court attendance is likely (contested family, civil litigation, some employment tribunals), where property is being bought or sold in the borough, or where you value being able to walk into an office and hand something over in person.

Do you offer fixed fees?
Yes, for a defined list of matters: standard single and mirror wills, lasting powers of attorney, uncontested probate under a value threshold, residential conveyancing, no-fault divorce (undefended), and standard settlement agreement advice. Where we cannot offer a fixed fee, we quote an hourly rate and, where possible, a written estimate of the likely total cost.

Can I get a free initial consultation?
We offer a free, no-obligation initial call of up to 15 minutes for most matters so you can decide whether to proceed. Book a consultation or call 0121 270 2700.

Which courts do you appear at?
Most family and civil work is heard at the Birmingham Civil and Family Justice Centre, 33 Bull Street, Birmingham B4 6DS. Employment tribunal claims are usually listed at Birmingham Employment Tribunal. Criminal-linked matters (for example certain family injunctions) can be listed at Solihull Magistrates' Court. We attend all of these regularly.

How are you regulated?
Pearcelegal Limited is a licensed body (ABS) authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority under SRA number 423097. We are entered on the Law Society Find a Solicitor register.
