Our history

QualitySolicitors was founded in 2008 by barrister and current President, Craig Holt, and Chief Operating Officer, Saleem Arif.

The company officially launched in May 2009 as an internet-based alliance of independent law firms in the United Kingdom. In May 2010 the original member firms began to rebrand under the QualitySolicitors name and the first 15 branded locations were launched that year, rising to 50 locations by November 2010.

In July 2011, the company expanded further when a national partnership with high street stationery giant WHSmith was launched. The deal saw QualitySolicitors open Legal Access Points in WHSmith stores across the UK.

In October 2011, QualitySolicitors announced a major investment in the company by private equity firm Palamon Capital Partners, who secured a majority stake. The investment paved the way for significant expansion for the brand, including the appointment of three new executive directors to head up the marketing, partner firms and finance department. 

Currently, QualitySolicitors is offering expert legal advice in over 100 high street locations across the UK.
