B P Collins has consistently been working alongside Marlow-based businesses and private individuals throughout our 50+ year history. From our offices in nearby Gerrards Cross and Oxfordshire, we regularly act for clients in Marlow, network and attend events in the town and have strong connections with many complementary professional service businesses with Marlow headquarters or branches.
Big corporates
Marlow (and its surrounds, including Bourne End) is local to many sizeable businesses such as Clinimed, Television Systems Limited and Lane4 Management. We provide many of these businesses with employment, commercial property, dispute resolution and corporate and commercial advice to help them minimise risk, acting as long-term advisors to guide them with growth strategies.
Business law
Marlow is extremely accessible with excellent transport links to assist local businesses. The M40 and A404 connection to the M4 provides fast routes to London, Heathrow Airport, Reading and Oxford, meaning the town attracts many businesses from several sectors and inward investment from Europe and other parts of the world.
This is an area where B P Collins thrives, providing commercial advice to businesses setting up in the UK. This includes offering business immigration services from our employment law team by advising skilled workers who need Tier 2 applications. We are also advising on the difficulties and challenges of Brexit.
Settled status
The UK is currently working on a Brexit agreement to leave the EU bringing much uncertainty to businesses and individuals. One change which has been clarified is the new settled status immigration process for EU nationals. Our immigration team are here to help EU nationals living in Marlow with this new application process.
Personal law
Marlow attracts many commuters due to the proximity to the Chiltern Railway train line connection at High Wycombe and a route to London via Maidenhead. This means many staff and clients settle in the area and we often advise on residential property transactions (buying and selling), manage the wealth and estates of many generations of families with wills, trusts and probate matters and powers of attorney, as well as the breakdown of marriages with our empathetic family law team, who also advise on cohabitation matters, pre-nuptial agreements and civil partnerships.
Our dedicated employment law team has successfully represented many Marlow employees, workers, contractors and partners in Employment Tribunals for all types of claims, from disability discrimination and unfair dismissal to unlawful deduction of wages and breach of contract. They have also negotiated numerous settlement agreements for senior executives.
Our dispute resolution and property disputes teams help Marlow clients keep control of various personal disputes. They advise on the best approach, whether this is litigation or mediation, to advance and protect personal interests. With sensitive matters such as inheritance disputes or slander, our specialist lawyers offer valuable support through difficult times.
Our criminal law and road traffic lawyers are on hand if you need to deal with a serious personal issue. They have many years of experience in defending all types of cases including fraud, fatal road traffic investigations, all driving cases and regulatory breaches.
Powers of Attorney
We are able to offer a strong powers of attorney service to the Marlow community. Our private client solicitors can assist with your application to ensure your POA is executed efficiently and correctly. Our powers of attorney team deal with all issues with the upmost professionalism as we understand many cases can be stressful and difficult matters to address.
Divorce and separation
Our dedicated family law team understand the emotional demands and financial challenges that you will be facing whilst going through divorce and separation. They have successfully represented many families from Marlow, guiding them through matrimonial legal issues.
Our empathetic family law team strive to obtain the best outcome for you in a friendly, supportive and collaborative environment. Our divorce solicitors offer support through these tough times.
Private individuals
Due to our proximity to Marlow, we are able to visit elderly private clients in the area. We have excellent relationships with local care homes who we visit to share our knowledge with residents.
Notary public
Our notary public service offering provides two notaries who can validate foreign documents for local individuals and businesses. This is a unique service that many other law firms are unable to offer.
Property development
As Marlow continues to regenerate, our team provides advice to property developers on new commercial and residential property usage in the area.
Community support
Some of our staff live in Marlow and are active in the community. We have previously held golf days at the Harleyford Golf Club. The Bucks Sporting Lunch Club, which B P Collins sponsors, has also been held at this venue as well as the Crowne Plaza.
Our lawyers regularly take part in Marlow FM talk shows, sharing our legal knowledge with listeners on various topical subjects, as well as promoting the firm’s support of the local community through initiatives such as the Heart of Bucks charity stewardship, which has previously awarded the Marlow Sea Cadets with a donation.
