A new free search site lists every solicitor firm in England and Wales, along with legal aid data, without any paid rankings, sponsored listings or paid lead generation.
LawStreet is the first in the UK to combine the full Solicitors Regulation Authority register with legal aid data, so people can see which firms will take on their case.
The platform covers almost 9,000 solicitor firms across more than 15,000 offices, with data drawn directly from the SRA and synced daily. Users – currently numbering 200,000 per month – can search by postcode, town, region, firm name or any of 23 practice areas, from family law and conveyancing to wills and probate.
Results are ordered on relevance to the search, so a small high street practice appears on the same terms as a major national firm. Solicitor firms can claim and enhance their profiles, with paid plans available, but LawStreet says no payment affects where a firm appears in search results.
Incorporating data from the Legal Aid Agency means 1,800 firms offering legal aid can be searched across 17 categories, allowing people who qualify for government-funded legal help to find a firm to take their case.
Johan Grefstad, co-founder and criminal barrister, said: “Access to justice starts with knowing who can actually help you. Legal aid and general firm data have always lived apart, and nothing brought them together accurately enough to accurately reflect live or active contracts. LawStreet does. That’s the gap we built it to close, the most accurate information possible, empowering people find the right representation from the very start of their search.”
LawStreet was founded in 2025 by Grefstad and brothers Joseph and George Hobson, after their own experience of how difficult it is to find and compare solicitors online.
George Hobson explained: “Most people only need a solicitor in a moment of stress; a house move, a divorce, a dispute – and finding the right one shouldn’t add to it. Paid ads and rankings based on marketing spend make it hard to know which firm is actually right for you.
“That’s why we built LawStreet: an impartial comparison site with no paid rankings, built on the most comprehensive dataset of SRA-registered solicitors available. Helping you find the right solicitor in your moment of need.”
