Seven lawyers to be promoted, including two new partners

B P Collins has announced that seven lawyers will be promoted on 1 April 2025.

Victoria Taylor (pictured) in the corporate and commercial team and property dispute team leader, Elliott Brookes, will be promoted to partners. This yields a 52% female partner ratio. Greg Clark will be promoted to senior associate in the employment and business immigration practice. Family lawyers Ella Moxey and Emma Eastwood; Holly McNeil in the corporate and commercial team, and criminal lawyer Olivia Duncan will become associates.

Partners

Elliott Brookes will be promoted to partner in recognition of his solution focused approach to property litigation law.   Since joining B P Collins in 2014 as a work experience student, in just ten years Elliott’s steadfast dedication to his clients and expert handling of complex legal challenges has led him to become head of the firm’s property dispute team. He also won Young Property Professional of the Year at the most recent Thames Valley Property Awards.

With over 10 years’ experience, newly appointed partner Victoria Taylor, specialises in corporate and commercial matters, with a wealth of expertise in private equity. Victoria regularly works with private equity funds, owner managed businesses, individual investors and banks. She also has extensive experience in helping clients in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors.

Senior associate

New employment senior associate Greg Clark advises employers and employees, partnerships/LLPs and partners on contentious and non-contentious matters, including employment tribunal claims, settlement agreements, contracts and policies. He specialises in cases where an employee's disability arises from a mental health condition.

Greg’s business immigration work involves advising employers on applications for sponsor licences and obtaining worker visas under the points-based immigration system. 

Associates

Congratulations also to Ella Moxey and Emma Eastwood in the family practice; Holly McNeil in the corporate and commercial team and criminal lawyer, Olivia Duncan, who have been promoted to associates.

Simon Deans, B P Collins’ senior partner, said: 'The significant number of promotions reflects not only the lawyers’ exceptional skills and dedication, but also the collective success we've experienced in delivering outstanding results for our clients. These promotions are a testament to B P Collins’ commitment to fostering growth, excellence, and leadership at every level in the firm.'
