What Kemp IT Law offers, and what it publishes
You get lawyers ranked by two legal directories. Chambers UK 2026 ranks the firm in two areas, including data protection and information law, and ranks three of its lawyers. Legal 500 2026 ranks it for IT and telecoms. The firm says its AI practice advises on governance, risk and compliance, including the EU AI Act.
Kemp IT Law does not publish a price, fixed-fee options or how it charges. It publishes no client case studies. Its privacy policy covers how long it keeps data and transfers abroad, but says nothing about how the firm uses AI. It does not publish its insurance cover or insurer.
Kemp IT Law is a small firm, with five registered members at one London address. Its regulator, the Solicitors Regulation Authority, requires it to hold professional indemnity cover. The regulator's register showed no published disciplinary decision against it on 19 September 2026. Its privacy policy says personal data may go to the United States under EU Commission standard contractual clauses.
Strengths
- SRA-regulated law firm (SRA No. 8000918) with named, dedicated AI-governance and data-protection/privacy practice pages and partners, not a generalist practice claiming the field.
- Externally ranked for the relevant specialism by two independent legal directories: Chambers UK 2026 (Data Protection & Information Law; IT & Outsourcing) and Legal 500 2026 (IT & Telecoms).
- No published SRA disciplinary decision or ICO enforcement action was found against the firm as of 19 Sep 2026 (per the SRA register's own statement).
Things to check
- No fee rates, fixed-fee options, or any pricing-model information are published anywhere on the firm's public website.
- The firm's privacy policy does not disclose how the firm itself uses AI tools or what happens to client/personal data in relation to any AI processing.
- Companies House records only 5 LLP members, indicating a small boutique partnership rather than a firm with wide bench depth or multiple offices.

Notes behind each thing to check
- No fee rates, fixed-fee options, or any pricing-model information are published anywhere on the firm's public website. (Reviewed kempitlaw.com home, expertise and team pages directly on 19 Sep 2026; no fee or pricing content found on any of them.)
- The firm's privacy policy does not disclose how the firm itself uses AI tools or what happens to client/personal data in relation to any AI processing. (Read the full published privacy policy at kempitlaw.com/privacy-policy/; it covers retention and international transfers but has no AI-use section.)
- Companies House records only 5 LLP members, indicating a small boutique partnership rather than a firm with wide bench depth or multiple offices. (Companies House officers filing for OC441771 lists exactly 5 current members, all at a single London address.)
| Criterion | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Help when things go wrong | No ICO enforcement or SRA disciplinary record found; the SRA register itself shows no published decisions, but no published case study of the firm defending a client through an actual investigation or breach was found either. | |
| Qualifications of the people who do the work | SRA-regulated licensed body since 2022, ranked by both Chambers UK 2026 and Legal 500 2026 for IT and data-protection work, per the firm's own site and both directories. | |
| What it publishes about fees | No fee rates, fixed-fee options, or pricing-model information found published on kempitlaw.com as of 19 Sep 2026, so transparency cannot be assessed positively. | |
| Knowledge of your sector | Dedicated named AI, Privacy & Cyber and Data & IP practice pages plus a Chambers 2026 ranking specifically in Data Protection & Information Law. | |
| Independence from what it sells | Traditional SRA-regulated legal advisory partnership; no compliance software product, licensing model or lead-generation funnel found anywhere on kempitlaw.com. | |
| Who carries the risk if the advice is wrong | As an SRA licensed body the firm must hold indemnity cover under SRA rules, but no specific cover level or insurer is published by the firm itself. |
