What OTS Solicitors does

OTS Solicitors is a London-based, SRA-regulated law firm (SRA No. 638110) established in 2014 by Teni Shahiean (CEO/Senior Partner) and Oshin Shahiean (Managing Partner). The firm delivers legal services across eight practice areas, with UK immigration (business and individual) as the primary specialism, supplemented by family law, employment law, landlord and tenant, dispute resolution, commercial and corporate law, and human rights. It serves a dual client base: business clients including entrepreneurs, high-net-worth investors, SMEs, academic institutions, and multinationals requiring sponsorship licences and work visas, alongside private individuals seeking family visas, ILR, citizenship, asylum support, divorce, child arrangements, and tenancy disputes.

The firm does not operate proprietary technology platforms; its stack is conventional professional services tooling (WordPress CMS, reCAPTCHA, Google Analytics, Inspectlet) with video-conferencing channels (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Cisco WebEx, Skype) used for remote consultations. Its competitive positioning rests on human expertise, anchored by Senior Consultant Paul Gulbenkian (a former UK Immigration Judge who advises the Government's Migration Advisory Committee), over 85 years of combined immigration experience, multi-area Law Society accreditations, and consistent inclusion in Legal 500 and Chambers UK. Multi-language capability (Armenian, Creole, Farsi, French, Hindi, Hebrew, Punjabi, Tagalog, Ukrainian, Urdu) and an international interpreter network extend reach into China, the US, Russia, Southeast Asia, and MENA.

OTS Solicitors generates revenue through professional service fees, beginning with paid consultations (£140+VAT for 40 minutes; £210+VAT for 60 minutes) and extending to ongoing case work billed on hourly or fixed-fee arrangements. GTM is sales-led and consultative, combining organic search, social media, legal directory listings, media authority (BBC, WSJ, TalkRadio), and referrals; delivery occurs via the City of London office, phone, and remote video consultations. There are no public revenue disclosures, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity on record.
