About
A niche London law firm. Specialist by design.
Deen & Co Solicitors is a boutique practice based on the 18th floor of 40 Bank Street, Canary Wharf. We do a few things — and we do them properly.
Taj Ahmed
Principal Solicitor · SRA #560747
Twenty-plus years in employment law. Trained at Christian Khan and specialised at Thompsons Solicitors, acting for the UK's largest trade unions before founding Deen & Co in 2011.
The firm
Small, focused, and unusually experienced
Founded in 2011, Deen & Co Solicitors is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority under SRA number 560747. We act for individuals on settlement agreements, employment claims and probate, and for SMEs and growing businesses on the employment-law issues that come with being an employer.
We are based on the 18th floor of 40 Bank Street, Canary Wharf, and act for clients across England and Wales. Most of our work is conducted by phone, video and email — so wherever you are, you can instruct us.
Why a specialist matters
Employment law moves quickly. New case law, statutory changes and tribunal practice shift the ground every year. A solicitor who handles employment matters every day will spot risks and opportunities a generalist cannot. That is why we have chosen to stay small and specialist rather than become a full-service firm.
Our principles
We give clear, written cost estimates from the outset. We explain things in plain English. We don't pad bills with six-minute unit calls. And we tell you when not to litigate just as quickly as we tell you when you should.

How we work
Four things you can count on
Specialist by design
We deliberately focus on a handful of practice areas. That focus is what lets us spot the risks and openings a generalist would miss.
Genuinely fast
Same-day settlement reviews are our default, not our sales pitch. Most agreements are read and returned within hours.
Straight advice
We tell you when not to fight just as clearly as when to. No padded bills. No six-minute unit games. Clear written cost estimates from day one.
Named solicitor
You deal with a person, not a portal. The solicitor who reads your paperwork is the one who negotiates and signs it off.
