What Sherrards Solicitors does

Sherrards Solicitors LLP is a UK-based limited liability partnership (registered number OC352466) providing comprehensive legal services to businesses and private clients through offices in London (1-3 Pemberton Row, EC4A 3BG) and St Albans (4 Beaconsfield Road, AL1 3RD). The firm was founded in 2004 and operates with 101-250 employees, organised around a broad practice portfolio spanning corporate and commercial, banking and finance, commercial property, dispute resolution and litigation (including international arbitration and public international law), employment, fraud and business crime, insolvency and corporate recovery, intellectual property, real estate litigation, family law, private wealth, personal and corporate immigration, notary public, and residential conveyancing.

The firm differentiates itself through a structured international practice built on membership in the Alliott Global Alliance, a network of 215 member firms across 95 countries. This underpins seven dedicated international desks covering Czech & Slovak, Spanish, Japanese, German, French, Italian, and Chinese & South East Asian clients, each led by a named partner or legal director. Additional sector specialisms include Art & Heritage (advising artists, collectors, galleries, and estates on transactions, estate planning, and cultural property matters) and UK Exporters Services. The firm has no proprietary technology products and operates on a standard UK legal practice technology stack; its only AI-related activity is thought-leadership content advising employers on workplace AI risks.

The business model is a traditional partner-led professional services model, with revenue derived from fees billed against individual matters on a quote-based, bespoke pricing structure (not publicly disclosed). Clients are acquired through a mix of content marketing, legal directory participation (Chambers and Partners, Legal 500 — where the firm holds Top Tier and Leading Firm 2026 designations), event sponsorship (London Art Fair 2026, TEFAF Art Business Conference), and professional association involvement (International Bar Association, AGA Future Leaders Conference). Named enterprise clients span retail franchising (Winkworth), retail property rollouts (Rituals, Menkind, Lovisa), food and beverage franchise expansion (Jamaica Blue, Esquires Coffee), and art and heritage (Hew Locke RA OBE / British Museum). The firm is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (No. 533210) and holds the Conveyancing Quality Scheme accreditation.
