Firm Profile
A young, vibrant specialist firm formed in Barnsley in June 1996 — focused on the recovery of damages and compensation.
Situated close to the Town Hall in the main business district of Barnsley town centre, L A Steel Solicitors was formed in June 1996. A young and vibrant firm, we specialise primarily in the recovery of damages and compensation — the only exception being planning appeals following the rejection by the relevant planning authority of the initial application.
Easy to find, in the heart of Barnsley
Our location is easy to find — plan your route using postcode S70 2EJ — and there are meter parking facilities on Regent Street, with a pay-and-display car park on the south-east side near the train station.
A genuine niche in Barnsley
An important point to note is the exclusivity of our services and the niche that has developed in Barnsley as a consequence. We do not offer conveyancing, criminal law, probate, matrimonial matters, intellectual property, insolvency — or anything apart from planning appeals that does not describe a claim for damages. The services we provide are therefore those of true specialists.
Specialist focus: everything we do describes a claim for damages, apart from planning appeals. This deliberate focus is what makes us specialists rather than generalists.
What we do
- Personal injury claims, including road traffic accidents and accidents at work
- Employment tribunals, including unfair dismissal
- Contract claims and contract drafting
- Defendant work for insurers and companies
- Planning appeals
