Stamp Jackson & Procter

What Stamp Jackson & Procter does

Stamp Jackson & Procter, trading as SJP Law, is a traditional full-service UK law firm founded c. 1854 and headquartered at 5 Parliament Street, Hull, with a regional office at 4 Triune Court, Monks Cross Drive, York. The firm is structured as a private limited company authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA No. 637804) and employs between 101 and 250 staff. SJP Law is organised into four practice divisions: For Business (agriculture, healthcare, property and land, and broader business services), For You (private client matters including wills, trusts, lasting power of attorney, high-value residential property, probate and estate administration), Life Changing Injuries (medical negligence, personal injury claims, rehabilitation and lifelong care, criminal injury compensation, industrial disease) and Criminal Compensation. Its core clientele comprises individuals and families in the Hull and Yorkshire region, alongside SMEs, family businesses, farmers, landowners, healthcare operators, and property developers, with national reach for certain specialisations including complex medical negligence claims.

The firm's product is bespoke legal advice and representation delivered by qualified solicitors and supported by in-house healthcare professionals, notably occupational therapists embedded within the Life Changing Injuries practice. The firm does not offer proprietary software, platforms, APIs, or technology modules; service delivery relies on standard legal practice management systems and professional software tools. A distinguishing capability is the integration of clinical and legal expertise under a single firm, with team members holding APIL Brain Injury Specialist accreditation and the firm maintaining Headway Approved Firm status, UKABIF and BIRT memberships, Lexcel, ISO 9001, and AvMA Lawyers Service accreditation.

SJP Law generates revenue primarily through time-based hourly billing, with rates ranging from £185 to £360 plus VAT depending on seniority (Grade D trainee/paralegal through Grade A director/consultant). Supplementary revenue streams include fixed fees for probate administration (from £2,500 plus VAT) and residential conveyancing (£2,500–£10,000 plus VAT), plus pass-through disbursements such as Land Registry fees, search fees (£700–£1,000), court fees, and Stamp Duty Land Tax. The firm does not participate on lender panels and does not accept referral fees, distributing services exclusively through its two offices, direct engagement, a website enquiry form, telephone consultations, and home visits for sensitive matters such as fatality and inquest support. Marketing and customer acquisition rely on professional reputation, multi-generational referrals, and industry accreditations rather than active advertising campaigns.
