THE LAST 26 YEARS

We've grown since 1984.

In numbers, we've gone from three (two solicitors and one secretary) to twenty three (including eleven solicitors and two paralegals). We've broadened from civil and criminal litigation to providing a full range of services covering Immigration, Business Law, Family & Matrimonial Law, Property, Litigation, Housing, and Wills and Probate. While many of our clients are South London based, an increasing number come from further afield.In response to client demand we are now serving a larger number of clients at our Victoria office.

Growth over recent years has been mainly due to word of mouth and our track-record of success. It's also partly because of the more systematic approach we've started using to attract new clients, notably from overseas. We have carried out promotional trips to countries such as Russia and Ghana, and developed links with legal firms in India and Egypt. Dates of any forthcoming promotional trips will be posted on the News page of the website as soon as these are known.

Our reputation brought us to the attention of the Legal Services Commission in 2000 when we were awarded our first Legal Aid contracts in housing, family, immigration and welfare benefits law. We have since gained over 10 years of experience in handling all aspects of legally aided work, as well as seeing our private Client work and property law departments develop and flourish. In immigration asylum claims, with success rates generally below 40%, our success rate has been over 70%, and we have helped over 5,000 clients to become settled in the UK and over 1,000 clients to gain British citizenship.

We provide best practice solutions in all aspects of immigration law for businesses and corporations of all sizes, as well as for private clients.

Currently we hold two legal aid contracts in family and housing law.Our family law department also serves private clients as well as handling a significant volume of publicly funded work.

At Ziadies we are continually faced with an opportunity and a challenge: the opportunity is to build further on our reputation and to go on expanding; the challenge is to make sure we keep providing the same service standards to all our clients. We are determined to succeed in both and wish to assure our clients that our commitment to our traditional values and standards is undiminished.
