From our offices in nearby Gerrards Cross and Oxfordshire, we regularly act for individuals and businesses in High Wycombe, network and attend events in the town and have strong professional connections with many complimentary professional service businesses with High Wycombe headquarters or branches.
Big corporates
High Wycombe is local to many sizable businesses such as Biffa Waste Services Limited and we serve many of these businesses with employment law, commercial property law, dispute resolution and corporate and commercial advice to help them minimise risk, act as long-term advisors and advise on growth strategies.

The firm has supported waste management specialists and Wycombe based Biffa Group with corporate and commercial and environment law advice for many years since the 2010 merger with Greenstar, who we acted for since 2003 previously.
Business law
High Wycombe is extremely accessible with excellent transport links to assist local businesses. The M40 and connection to the M4 provides fast routes to London, Heathrow Airport, Reading and Oxford, meaning the town can attract many businesses from various sectors and inward investment from Europe and other parts of the world.
This is an area where B P Collins thrives by providing commercial business advice on setting up in the UK. This includes offering business immigration services from our employment law team by advising on 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 High Wycombe with this new application process.

High Wycombe attracts many commuters due to the Chiltern Railway train line connection from Birmingham to London. 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.
