Services
Our partners have exceptional experience in all these areas. We assemble teams for commercial transactions and can integrate within existing projects to ensure our clients have the resources available to reach their commercial aims whilst keeping costs down. Strain Keville provides experienced solicitors in the centre of London who can take you through the pros and cons of starting a company, entering into a partnership or utilising an LLP.
It is not necessary that they knew it to be true, but that they were reckless as to whether or not it was true. Reliance - If you do not place reliance on the statement, there is nothing to complain about. Each case must be handled carefully. Courts can take a very strict view on claims that someone has been fraudulent and it is a matter for us, professionally, to make sure a claim is as accurate as it can be before starting proceedings at court.
This is a wide area of law with several different elements and solutions. We have a great deal of experience in many areas from lease extensions to the purchase of a freehold. If you know the area you want to discuss, more information can be found in the subpages of this topic. If you need experienced advice on any landlord and tenant matter, please contact us and one of our specialist Property solicitors can advise on the area relevant to you.
Discrimination can be a very sensitive and emotive subject. We handle all claims with a high level of empathy that enables you to achieve your aims whilst guiding you through difficult discussions. Whether you are an employer or employee we take your concerns seriously and advise pragmatically as our aim is to reach the best conclusion for you and not to allow a genuine concern to get out of hand.
Wills are extremely important and necessary documents that are designed to distribute assets after death. It's not a scary thought to know your dependants are being cared for. Preparing a Will with us doesn't need to be time consuming and is not expensive however much we tailor your documents. We do not charge percentages of estate values for any of our work (including probate) and you will receive the work we carry out for the price we quote.

We have used SK (Andres and Matthew Strain) several times now for business/contract matters where their advice was very practically oriented and helpful. They were able to introduce us if necessary to other reliable professionals (e.g. accountants) who could help us. They (Adam) have also completed a number of conveyancing deals for us in London and outside. We have been very happy with the service and their pricing schedule.

It's so brilliant to have a solicitor you can really trust! I used Adam for conveyancing, and I couldn't recommend him or Strain Keville more - everything was so professional and efficient throughout. The level of detail and care put into each aspect of the sale was outstanding, it was all so thorough! To top it all off, Adam was always very friendly and polite on the phone. 5/5

Recently my grandson needed some advice on an employment matter. Strain Keville (Matthew and Adam) were recommended as people who would take him through the issues sympathetically but firmly and help him decide next steps. They were very helpful, responded quickly and were very generous with their time. Thank you.

As an estate agent, I have regular dealings with solicitors after a sale is agreed. Adam Jones was fantastic. He worked hard for his clients and was always available to pick up the phone or respond to emails quickly which makes a huge difference.
I would recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced solicitor who is willing to go the extra mile.

Was introduced to Matthew by a trusted business partner. Communication was excellent, content intelligent, approach practical and not at all stuffy, options clearly presented with financial ramifications of each clearly stated at all times. Successful outcome achieved in the predicted timeframe. Very satisfied and would not hesitate to recommend SK to you.

I have worked with Andrew Strain on two house purchases and one sale, and have worked with Matthew on various other legal matters. On all occasions Andrew, Matthew and the wider team have been exceptional. Two matters in particular had several layers of complexity, which were systematically dealt with in a timely manner. Beyond the incredible levels of service and expertise, we appreciated that in these relatively stressful moments in life, Strain Keville remained personable and approachable to ease the pressure of one of the most important purchases you can make. Which for us, was worth its weight
