JAGDEV LEGAL · BIRMINGHAM

About Jagdev Legal

An AI-first boutique law firm, built around you. Family-run and based in Birmingham, we combine personal legal advice with intelligent technology to serve individuals, families and businesses across the Midlands.

We've come a long way

Our story begins with Harjit Singh Jagdev's qualification as a solicitor in 1986. From those foundations, the practice has developed into the family-run firm serving our community today.

Our methods, knowledge and services have evolved, but our focus remains on helping individuals, families and businesses with clear, practical legal advice.

Jagdev Legal acquired Vesey & Clarke in September 2021, bringing together two firms' experience and client relationships.

Personal advice. Intelligent technology.

Being an AI-first boutique firm means looking for thoughtful ways to use technology in support of a personal, closely managed legal service. We use AI to assist our solicitors with preparation, organising information and administration, while keeping your circumstances and priorities at the centre of our work.

People who know your matter

We take time to understand what you need and explain the options in plain language. You can speak to our team by phone or email, or arrange an appointment.

Professional judgment

Our solicitors remain responsible for the advice we give. AI-assisted work requires professional review; decisions about your matter are discussed with you.

Confidence and choice

Confidentiality and accountability remain central to our approach. Ask us how technology is used in your matter. You do not need to use an AI tool to contact us or seek advice.

Developing our service

Our aim is to reduce routine administration and make legal help easier to access, giving our team more time to focus on clients. Our Innovation Lab explores further improvements to audit preparation and legal workflows. These tools are an early-stage development programme, rather than a promise that every feature is already available.
