SO Legal celebrates 20,000 matters with a client-first approach

Over the past nine years, we have developed a reputation for doing things differently—breaking the mould of traditional law firms.

We have built strong relationships, from first-time buyers and entrepreneurs to large businesses, by offering tailored solutions and a deep understanding of our clients' needs. This milestone reflects our team's dedication and the trust of the many companies, property professionals, and individuals who rely on our expertise.

Marking a major milestone

Chairman Hamed Ovaisi said:

"Reaching 20,000 matters is a real moment for us. It's about more than the number—it's about the people and businesses we've worked with over the years. From small property deals to high-stakes commercial cases, we've always strived to deliver clear, effective advice and make legal services approachable for everyone. To achieve this as we mark nine years in business makes it even more special."

Managing Director Jamie Salvidge added:

"This milestone is a reflection of the relationships we've built. Our team has always focused on supporting clients with legal solutions that work for them, whether buying their first home or running a company. We're grateful for our clients' confidence in us, which drives us forward."

A different kind of law firm

Since launching in 2016, we have expanded from our roots in Eastbourne to six offices, including Brighton, Hastings, London, Uckfield, and Ulverston. With a team of more than 70 dedicated professionals, our approach is built on being accessible, adaptable, and client-focused—traits that have resonated with businesses and individuals alike.

Offering expertise across corporate law, commercial property, residential property, litigation, and private client services, we provide tailored legal solutions to meet the diverse needs of our clients, from homeowners and entrepreneurs to established businesses and developers. Our innovative collaboration with French law firm Citizen Avocats further enhances our ability to provide cross-border legal support.

With plans for continued expansion and a commitment to innovation, we are looking ahead while remaining grounded in our core values: providing quality advice, building meaningful relationships, and taking the complexity out of legal services.
