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.
