What Robertsons SOLICITORS does

Robertsons Solicitors (legally Robertsons Legal Limited) is a full-service independent law firm headquartered at 6 Park Place, Cardiff, operating five offices across Cardiff, Swansea, Barry, Newport and Bristol. Founded in 1903 and authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (No. 625915), the firm has operated continuously and independently for over 120 years.

The firm delivers both personal and business legal services across more than a dozen practice areas, including Family Law, Wills, Trusts and Estates, Residential Conveyancing, Workplace Issues, Education Law, Disputes and Claims, Military Claims, Workplace Illness, Commercial Property, Business Disputes, Business Law, HR and Employment, and Secured Lending. Its technology stack is conventional for a UK high-street practice: standard case management with an online payment integration through Legl, plus web-based enquiry forms, legal calculators, and a publicly disclosed conveyancing pricing page.

The firm makes money primarily through hourly professional fees with written cost estimates issued at the outset of a matter, supplemented by fixed fees for wills, probate, and standardised conveyancing work, and conditional (no-win, no-fee) arrangements for industrial disease claims. Disbursements and VAT are passed through and itemised. Clients are a long-tail mix of individuals, families, and SMEs across South Wales and the South West of England, acquired through a combination of local reputation, multi-generational word of mouth, professional referrals, organic social media (LinkedIn, Facebook), community engagement, and Trustpilot-validated reviews.
