Read Cooper Limited is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2011 and recorded under SRA number 472786. The SRA record lists 5 practising offices: the head office at The White House, Buckinghamshire, HP17 8XX, plus 4 further offices in Chalfont St Giles, Aylesbury, Amersham and Chesham.

In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 6 areas of law: Employment, Residential property, Commercial property, Probate, Wills and trusts and Family.

Areas of law reported to the SRA
Self-reported by the firm in its most recent annual return to the SRA ("the areas of law that the law firm has told us they delivered"). A lagging description of past work, not a live service list, a specialism claim or a quality mark; it may be up to a year old and is blank for newly authorised firms.
Because Read Cooper Limited reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. Look for a fees page at bwksolicitors.co.uk or ask the firm for the figures in writing. Compare against the national average of £1,575 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
