Jeffreys Solicitors

What Jeffreys Solicitors does

Jeffreys Solicitors is a private partnership law firm headquartered at Cheriton Chambers, 81 St Teilo Street, Pontarddulais, Swansea, Wales. The firm is authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA Number: 559624) and was founded on the qualification of its senior partner Keith Jeffreys as a solicitor in 1998; Paul Warren joined as a partner after qualifying in 2006. Total disclosed headcount is approximately nine staff, including two partners and a self-employed advocate network used to deliver nationwide coverage.

The firm's practice spans seven core legal areas: Civil Litigation, Criminal Injuries Compensation, HGV/PCV Licensing, Licensed Premises, Motoring Offences, Taxi Licensing, and Tenant Eviction & Recovery of Arrears. Its differentiator is deep practitioner-level experience in niche transport and licensing law, supported by an additional Nationwide Court Advocacy Service that provides trained advocates (minimum LPC, BVC or ILEX qualification) to other solicitors and law firms at county courts throughout England and Wales. Technology consists of a basic web-based client portal (clients.keithjeffreys.co.uk) for secure login and online hearing bookings; no proprietary AI, automation, or practice management platform is disclosed.

Revenue is generated through professional service fees, primarily fixed-fee pricing for defined services (court advocacy from £75 plus VAT, motoring attendance £250–£300 plus VAT, defended motoring cases estimated £1,800 plus counsel fees, liquor licensing applications £650 plus council fees, tenant eviction possession from £600 plus VAT), with a £210 hourly rate for general civil work and £21 per standard letter/call. The customer base comprises private individuals, corporate/commercial clients, and — most strategically — other solicitors and law firms acting as repeat B2B buyers of the court's advocacy service. The firm operates a hybrid GTM motion combining direct-to-consumer legal services with B2B solicitor agency work, distributed through the firm's website, Twitter (@jeffreyslegal), Facebook, telephone, and an online registration/booking system.
