Solicitor at Southgate Solicitors Limited

Rajan Thandi

Solicitor - Accredited Family Law Solicitor

SRA ID: 476608

Rajan specialises in all areas of divorce and family law and focuses primarily on family law matters involving children. Rajan graduated with a law degree in 2008, a Masters in international law 2009 and subsequently trained and qualified as a solicitor in 2015 with a London Legal 500 firm. Rajan has over five years of experience in family law and understands that disputes regarding children and finances, whether following the breakup of a relationship or during a relationship, can be extremely difficult and draining and always provides his client with sensible, practical advice to achieve long-term stability in line with the client's objectives. Where agreement cannot be reached and it is necessary to attend court, Rajan ensures that he is advised and represents his clients every step of the way and provides advocacy at court to ensure their views are properly put forward. ​ Rajan accepts that issues can arise at any time and not strictly on a 9-5 basis and is available as and when needed. He has achieved successful outcomes in highly contentious and difficult cases and will bring that determination and insight to all his cases. Rajan is a keen reader and although favours fantasy and sci-fi literature, he has read a wide variety of genres and authors from the ‘classics’ to the not so classic. He is also an avid gamer and in the past has invested considerable time in his machines. When not reading or gaming Rajan spends time with family and friends, going on bike rides and attempting to go to the gym. He is also an enthusiastic, if somewhat uncoordinated, dancer.

My experience with southgate

5

My overall experience with Southgate solicitors was one of upmost excellence. I came to them in my time of crisis, and they made me feel comfortable, relaxed and somewhat it back in control. The particular solicitor I dealt with was Rajan and I must say he couldn’t of done enough to help. My problems were solved within a couple of weeks I must say at full success. I would recommend the solicitors to anyone who is looking for a Child Law Solicitor right now. Many thanks to Raj and team and good luck to anyone who reads this review and chooses Southgate in the near future.

Great support and advice throughout court case

5

I would like to say a huge thank you to Southgate solicitors. I had a very good experience and felt supported throughout the process.

Rajan was recommended by a friend and I am grateful for this.

Although it was a difficult, draining few years, I was always advised - given clear advice by Rajan and felt I was given a voice throughout this procedure. A huge thank you and appreciation note to Rajan!

Thank you!

Experienced, professional and consistent

5

I was a client of Rajan's over a few years in a past complex case. Amongst his other areas of expertise, Rajan is also familiar with the usual patterns and behaviour of a narcissistic parent/ex. He brought to my situation input that at the time, I would never have been able to provide alone - the legal knowledge, the consistency, the plans and timings are all sharp. At times, Rajan was at the receiving end of my tears, moans and shock as we navigated our way through what felt to me like a family court storm. His consistently calm, rational and wise input enabled me to trust him in this work at a time when it wasn't particularly easy to put trust in others.

My first solicitor quit.
It seemed impossible to continue my case as a whole as I was told by the previous solicitor and all other solicitors I had contacted that the court can't deal with the different aspects of the case and make a decision on it all together.
It was simply too complex.
Then I had an introduction interview with Rajan and he actually agreed that it only makes sense to do it all together now instead of splitting the case up.
He informed me very understandable and clearly about the legal side of things as well as choices I would have and what working with him would be like.
His work style as he described it that day, was as it was throughout the whole journey.
Easy, professional and straight forward.
He was always available for questions, clarification, discussion, etc via email and phone.
We usually finished statements in time or even before the deadline.
He connected me to two good barristers and he was somehow even able to secure me a legal aid certificate.

Long story short, since working with Southgate solicitors, I was very glad that I had to find a new solicitor as Rajan was able to put my mind at ease coming from a very high anxiety level regarding everything to do with court.

Southgate solicitors were appointed to myself to resolve a family matter. My case was dealt with compassion and professionalism. Thanks to my solicitor in particular, we managed to finalise my matter with relative ease and most issues resolved.
I have a lot to thank Southgate for and if the need should arise they would be top of my list.
Excellence!

When looking for a solicitor where legal aid was accepted, my choices were somewhat limited but thankfully Southgate accepted me. They were very empathetic towards my situation and listened while I explained. I was then assigned to RT who is a very meticulous, honest and hard working person. He always had information to hand, dealt with everything efficiently and told me explicitly when my expectations were unobtainable whilst talking me through a more reasonable outcome based on the circumstances. Without the help of RT, I would not have got as far as this. It has been a very long and tiring 2+ years for all involved, and I commend his ability to deal with the other party professionally, without using the expletives that I would have used! Thank you so much for all your hard work. In the nicest way possible....I hope we never have to talk again, but if the occasion calls, I would happily use Southgate in the future!!

I can recommend this solicitor. Rajan was kind, empathetic and had a good understanding of our situation. He dealt with our matter promptly and explained our queries with patience . Initial communications with the secretary was slightly problematic ie form sent last minute and download wouldnt work but just a small matter as she rectified matters immediately

I had a very bad experience with another Law firm and I was in desperate need to find another solicitor. Friend of mines recommended me Southgate Solicitors and I decided to give it a go.

Rajan was my solicitor and I can only say good things about him from the start to end. He is very caring who will go the extra mile for his clients, he will always return your calls and emails and advise you to the best of his knowledge.

I would highly recommend using Rajan for any legal needs you may have, he is the best.

Thank you so much for helping us to achieved the result we did.

Southgate Solicitors are professional, respectful, responsive and understanding. Mr Rajan and his team of barristers knows what they're doing, highly competent and caring too. They made my life easy and dealt with all unexpected circumstances professionally. I am totally and 100% satisfied with the services they rendered and they're also compassionate. Thank you Southgate Solicitors, and thank you Mr Rajan and his team, I really appreciate you for reuniting me with my son. On my son's behalf, he says a big THANK YOU.
