RASHID AND CO LTD

What RASHID AND CO LTD does

Rashid & Co Solicitors Ltd is a Birmingham-headquartered UK law firm founded in 1998 by Tariq Rashid, now operating from two offices in Birmingham and Willenhall with approximately 11 staff. The firm delivers legal services across six practice areas: Criminal Defence, Family Law, Civil Litigation, Immigration, Wills & Probate, and Mediation. Its client base is predominantly private individuals from Birmingham's South Asian communities, supported by a multi-lingual team covering Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, and Mirpuri — a structural differentiator in the local market.

The firm holds Lexcel accreditation (Law Society quality mark), Cyber Essentials certification, and SRA regulation, and operates under a Legal Aid Agency contract that enables publicly-funded representation. Its technology posture is conventional for a UK high-street law firm: practice management and case-handling systems are implied but not disclosed, with no proprietary platforms, automation tools, or AI/ML capabilities referenced. Revenue mechanics combine Legal Aid Agency funding (fixed-fee public funding for eligible criminal, family, and immigration matters) with private fee-paying work across all six practice areas.

Commercially, the firm has begun extending beyond its individual-client base into corporate work, evidenced by an engagement with Este Medical Group LTD. Online reputation is strong, with a 5.0 Google rating across 66 reviews. Leadership transitioned to Rifat Rashid as Director, continuing family-led ownership. No external funding, investor activity, or acquisition history is disclosed.
