Leadenhall Law Group

What Leadenhall Law Group does

Leadenhall Law Group Ltd is a privately held, SRA-regulated law firm founded in 1994 in Norwich, England, with a three-office footprint spanning Norwich (headquarters at Townshend House, NR1 3DT) and two City of London locations at 4 Eastcheap and 70 Gracechurch Street. The firm serves private individuals and families across England, with no commercial or enterprise clients, through three integrated practice areas: residential conveyancing (sales, purchases, remortgages, transfers of equity, leasehold enfranchisement), wills, trusts and probate (will writing, estate administration, trusts), and family law (civil partnerships, collaborative law, care proceedings, domestic abuse injunctions, pre-nuptial agreements).

The core technology stack is conventional legaltech rather than proprietary: the firm operates the Hoowla online case management portal for client document submission and transaction tracking, integrates Thirdfort for anti-money laundering and identity verification, and submits property registrations electronically via HM Land Registry. No AI, machine learning, or data flywheel capabilities are evident. Service delivery is relationship-led, supported by Law Society LEXCEL, Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS), Law Society Child Law, Resolution, and Legal Aid Agency accreditations, plus Trustpilot and ReviewSolicitors review presence.

The business model is fee-for-service legal work priced as fixed fees for conveyancing (starting at £1,800 plus VAT), hourly rates of £150–£250 plus VAT combined with percentage-based charges for probate (1% of personal assets, 0.5% of property value), and professional services billing for family law. Go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer acquisition (website contact forms, phone, in-person consultations at three offices) with sales-led referral channels through estate agents, financial advisors, and prior clients. The firm is owner-managed by the McNally family, with Ed McNally serving as Managing Director since May 2023, alongside directors Katherine McNally, Ian McNally, Uzma Hussain, and Ed Percival. Approximately 50 fee earners and support staff operate across the three offices, with no external institutional capital or parent company.
