Our History

We've come a long way

Legal matters are important and everybody should have access to the right advice, guidance and representation when they need it. Jagdev Legal was founded upon this very idea more than 30 years ago — and even though our methods, expertise and knowledge have evolved throughout the decades, our principal focus remains largely the same.

Today we are a full-service legal firm with SRA status. Our experts and solicitors strive to set the highest professional standards, serving our clients and the wider communities with honest, decisive and solution-orientated legal services at times when only the best will do.

Most importantly, it means you can be confident in our services and exemplary levels of client care.
