Morgan LaRoche

What Morgan LaRoche does

Morgan LaRoche is a private regional law firm operating under Morgan LaRoche Limited, registered in England & Wales (Company Registration Number 5556632) and authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA Number 425900). Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Swansea, the firm operates three offices across South, West and Mid Wales (Swansea, Carmarthen, and a satellite office in Aberystwyth) and employs 101-250 people. Its practice spans three divisions: Commercial Services (commercial property, construction, corporate and commercial, employment, health and safety, insolvency, intellectual property, litigation, and regulatory and crime), Private Client Services (estate planning and administration, family law, white collar crime and investigations), and 14 sector specialisations covering agriculture, energy, manufacturing, social housing, transport, and others.

The firm operates standard legal practice management infrastructure augmented by a 24/7 secure client portal for document storage and retrieval (accessible via mobile) and a PCI DSS compliant online payment portal supporting card and mobile wallet payments. Technology is positioned as client-service infrastructure rather than a competitive differentiator. The firm is bilingual (English and Welsh) and holds accreditations from the Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS), Resolution (family law), the Association of Lifetime Lawyers, and Cyber Essentials, with rankings from UK Chambers and The Legal 500 providing third-party validation of its market position in the Welsh regional legal market.

Revenue is generated through professional service fees charged on fixed-fee or hourly rate bases depending on matter type. Some pricing is publicly disclosed — fixed-fee probate (£1,450-£2,000+), personal representatives reports (from £500), debt recovery, conveyancing, employment tribunals, and motoring offences — while corporate and commercial fees are quote-based. Go-to-market is relationship-led and regional, relying on direct outreach via phone, email, and office visits, complemented by content marketing (blog and bilingual SEO), email engagement, and local professional networks rather than digital self-serve acquisition. No revenue figures, funding rounds, or ownership changes are disclosed.
