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.

Outstanding Family Solicitor – Highly Rajan Thandi

Outstanding Family Solicitor – Highly Recommend Rajan Thandi of Southgate Solicitors

I am immensely grateful to Rajan Thandi of Southgate Solicitors, who is not only an incredible family lawyer but also a genuinely compassionate and highly professional solicitor. He made what could have been a daunting court process feel smooth and manageable. From detailed emails to timely phone calls, Rajan always made sure I was mentally and emotionally okay before discussing anything. His sensitivity and empathy throughout my case were deeply appreciated.

Rajan is intelligent, patient, and truly listens. He takes the time to explore all available options, ensuring I’m comfortable and well-informed at every stage. What stood out most was his attention to detail and his ability to break down complex issues, revisiting previous matters with clarity and fresh insight. He doesn’t impose decisions—he gently guides with wisdom and calmness.

One thing I’ll never forget is how he’d begin nearly every conversation by asking, “Is it a good time to talk?” That simple question meant a lot during such intense and overwhelming times. It spoke volumes about his thoughtful and human approach to family law.

Rajan also gives advice that’s not just about the moment, it’s about the long term. He helped me see things from perspectives I hadn’t considered, opening my mind and helping me think clearly, even in emotional moments.

He prepared me thoroughly for each stage of the legal process, setting realistic expectations and helping me feel calm and confident. Thanks to his experience in UK family law, I walked out of the courtroom feeling peaceful and well-prepared for the outcome.

Rajan’s love for family, fairness, and unity shines through in his work. He remains neutral, offers practical solutions, and prioritizes what’s truly best for everyone involved. I’m so thankful to have experienced his brilliance, dedication, and care.

I wholeheartedly recommend Rajan Thandi of Southgate Solicitors to anyone in need of a family law solicitor in the UK. He’s the kind of lawyer everyone hopes to find—professional, thoughtful, and exceptionally skilled.

My son and I wish him continued success. Thank you a million times, Rajan.

Rajan has been fantastic and mostly importantly a brilliant solicitor. He took the time to explain the process to me so that I could understand what was happening, what to expect in a very overwhelming situation. Rajan has been easy to contact, communicate with and very responsive. Rajan and Anjali throughout have been professional, supportive and caring; they have gone above and beyond what I ever expected. Thank you.

When I was served with court papers for a non molestation order, I called about 5 different solicitors. Rajan Thandi was willing to see me for an initial consultation and write a letter of suggestion for me to follow. He ended up being my solicitor for the following 11 months. He always made me feel at ease when I didn’t know what was happening, and helped me to understand in a way others wouldn’t be able to. I hope I never need a solicitor again, but if I do, I know exactly where to go

Family law case

I approached Southgate Solicitors for a child arrangement order case with very little time left until the hearing, distressed and not knowing how to proceed with the case.

Rajan Thandi’s impeccable professionalism and attention to detail during the strategic meeting meant that every single minute of the allocated time was used efficiently in informing me about all the legal options I had and in devising a strategy moving forward.

He not only put my mind at ease knowing the case was in good hands but also more than delivered on all the things he proposed. He was easily accessible during the time until the hearing and went above and beyond in ensuring that I was not left stuck on any part of the case. I felt truly heard through out the process.

I would also commend Tia at client services. She was responsive, friendly and professional.

I would highly recommend the firm.

Southgate has been my solicitor since 2021, ive had to have assistance with my private court matter and quite frankly I'd always choose
Southgate and ceylan to represent me.

Now I'd always recommend Ceylan for her personal approach and advise,

my barrister Ann may worked with me and really got to know me and put it all the information together and has a way with her words.

we have to remember it's the work we all put in and the effort to change and be better,

Thank you ceylan and Anne May.

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 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.
