B P Collins

What B P Collins does

B P Collins LLP is a full-service UK law firm founded in 1966, operating from three offices in Gerrards Cross (Buckinghamshire headquarters), the City of London, and Thame (Oxfordshire). The firm serves both business and individual clients across a broad practice portfolio spanning corporate (M&A, private equity, venture capital, employee ownership trusts), commercial (contracts, IP, data, technology), criminal law, dispute resolution, employment (including HR2Help HR consultancy), property (residential and commercial conveyancing, lettings, development), family law, wills/trusts/probate, insolvency, and notary services.

The firm differentiates through sector specialisation across construction, technology and IP, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, sports, insurance, environment, and creative industries, supported by Law Society accreditations (Lexcel, Conveyancing Quality Scheme, Wills and Inheritance Quality Scheme) and STEP/SFE memberships within the private client team. Technology adoption is described in directional terms — AI tools for legal practice and a PTL Platform client portal — without disclosed proprietary AI products or technical architecture.

Commercially, B P Collins operates on a professional services billing model with project/transaction-based fees, supplemented by fixed-fee transparency for residential conveyancing and probate services. Its GTM motion is enterprise field sales via direct client engagement and ongoing relationship management, with named enterprise clients spanning self-storage (Attic Self Storage), events management (Gallowglass), waste management (Biffa), property development (Chartridge Developments, UKPC), and technology (CentraStage, M&C Saatchi Mobile). Under senior partner Simon Deans (reappointed for a fourth three-year term in April 2026), the firm has reportedly nearly doubled revenue, opened new offices, completed an acquisition of a West London law firm, and earned top-tier 2026 rankings in Chambers UK and Legal 500.
