The firm delivers three core practice areas: Family Law (divorce, child arrangements, financial settlements, pre-/post-nuptial agreements, cohabitation and separation agreements, protective orders); Wills & Estates (will writing, living wills, probate, lasting powers of attorney, deputyship, elderly care, life interest trusts, discretionary trusts); and Conveyancing (residential sales, purchases, remortgages, equity release, transfers of equity).

A free half-hour telephone consultation is offered to all new family law clients. The firm is led by Managing Director Martin Pate, Director & Head of Conveyancing Martin Laszlo, Finance Director Lesley Rigler, and Director & Head of Family Law Amanda Loe, with no external investors, parent company, or funding rounds disclosed.

Direct peers

• Frettens Solicitors: Christchurch (Dorset) law firm offering family law, conveyancing, wills & probate, and lasting powers of attorney — same three-practice focus and overlapping Dorset catchment.
• Trethowans LLP: South West England law firm (Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire) with a private client practice covering wills, probate, family law, and residential conveyancing — comparable service mix across a slightly broader regional footprint.
• Humphries Kirk LLP: Dorset-based multi-office law firm (Poole, Bournemouth, Wimborne, Swanage) covering family law, conveyancing, and wills & estates — directly competitive in MJP Law's home geography including Wimborne.
• Steele Raymond LLP: Bournemouth-based full-service law firm with a strong private client practice in residential property, family, and wills — comparable size and Dorset/adjacent regional footprint.
• Ellis Jones Solicitors: Dorset-headquartered full-service law firm with multiple offices across the South, providing conveyancing, family law, and wills & estates — a direct competitor for the same Dorset individual-client segment.
• Coles Miller Solicitors: Long-established Dorset law firm (Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch) offering conveyancing, family law, wills & probate, and personal injury — directly overlapping MJP Law's service mix in the same geographic market.
• Lester Aldridge LLP: Bournemouth-based full-service law firm offering private client services including family law, residential property, and wills & probate — comparable practice mix and adjacent Dorset geography.
• Bevirs Solicitors: Poole/Dorset-based solicitors offering residential conveyancing, wills & probate, and family law — a similar small-to-mid Dorset firm competing for the same client base.

Emerging players
