Parsonage & Co

What Parsonage & Co does

Parsonage & Co Solicitors is a privately held, founder-led specialist law firm in England and Wales, regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA No. 407095). Founded in 2004 by principal Sylvia Parsonage, the firm is headquartered in Teddington with a second office in Hampton Hill/Richmond upon Thames. It serves individuals and families across suburban London, focusing on three practice areas: family law (divorce, child law, cohabitation), conveyancing (buying, selling, remortgaging, leasehold), and wills & probate (wills, lasting powers of attorney, estate administration, Court of Protection work). The firm holds the Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) accreditation and is a member of Resolution, with four Resolution-qualified family lawyers committed to non-confrontational resolution.

The firm operates a direct-to-consumer model with no platform or technology layer beyond a WordPress website and Google Analytics. Services are delivered by qualified solicitors supported by paralegals, legal secretaries, and an apprentice pipeline, with face-to-face consultations at two physical offices and remote delivery via phone, video, and email. Pricing is primarily fixed-fee for probate, conveyancing, wills, and lasting powers of attorney; complex family law matters may bill on an hourly basis. Public price points are not disclosed and clients are directed to request quotes, with the exception of an instant online conveyancing quoting tool on the website. The team comprises roughly 16 members, of whom six hold solicitor/head-of-department roles, supported by consultants, paralegals, trainee solicitors, secretaries, and a receptionist. Distribution is purely domestic, concentrated in the Teddington, Richmond upon Thames, and Hampton Hill postcodes of Greater London.

Growth signals are modest and organic: the firm has added three fee earners and an apprentice paralegal over 2023–2026, expanded its content publishing, and continued operating from two offices. There is no external investment, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no M&A activity, no API or integrations, and no disclosed AI capabilities. The business model is conventional professional-services billing, with revenue tied principally to conveyancing transaction volume in the local housing market and to the cadence of family and private-client matters across southwest London.
