Blake Morgan LLP is a large full-service commercial law firm with offices in Cardiff, London, Oxford, Portsmouth, Reading and Southampton in the United Kingdom.

Walter Morgan (1853–1901) was prominent in public life becoming an Alderman, Under-Sheriff and a Vice-Chairman of Glamorgan County Council.

He was directly concerned with the promotion of local and private Acts of Parliament and served as a part-time Clerk of Rhondda Urban District Council.

During its long history the firm acquired a tradition (which continues today) of its partners combining public service with a private practice covering diverse areas of the law, including industrial estate development, charities, workmen's compensation, litigation and company and commercial work, as well as more conventional areas assisting 'the man on the street'.

January 2009 saw the merger with CIP Solicitors of Bristol[5] and later that year the acquisition of the majority of the insurance team from rival firm Leo Abse and Cohen.

Founded in 1869 by Alfred Starling Blake, the firm originated in Portsmouth, Hampshire, and expanded with offices in Southampton, Reading, London, Oxford and Cardiff.
