Birmingham's legal community grew up alongside its role as a centre of industry and trade, with firms forming from about the nineteenth century onward to serve manufacturers, merchants and, later, the city's expanding financial and professional services sector. Over the twentieth century, mergers and the growth of national and regional firms consolidated much of this activity into the city centre, particularly around the areas close to the courts and business district, while smaller practices continued to serve local communities across the wider city.

More recently, from about the turn of the millennium, Birmingham has also become home to offices of larger national and international firms, drawn by the city's commercial importance outside London. Today the profession in England and Wales, including firms and solicitors practising in Birmingham, is regulated and registered through recognised national bodies rather than any purely local authority.
