B P Collins is thrilled to announce that Elliott Brookes, its standout property litigation lawyer, has been awarded the prestigious title of Young Property Professional of the Year at the Thames Valley Property Awards 2024. This accolade, presented at Ascot Racecourse, recognises Elliott’s innovative approach to property litigation law and exceptional dedication to his clients.
Elliott has quickly established himself as a leading figure in the field of property litigation. With a keen eye for detail and an unwavering commitment to finding solutions, he has successfully navigated complex legal challenges, earning the trust and respect of both colleagues and clients alike.
“I started at B P Collins as a work experience student just ten years’ ago and thanks to the firm’s commitment to training and mentorship, I became the head of its Property Disputes practice last year. For me, working in the property sector is all about the people, whether that’s helping clients through what can be one of the most challenging times of their personal or professional lives, or working with my colleagues. Looking to the future, I’m excited about mentoring the next generation of property lawyers whilst continuing to solve our clients’ problems as swiftly and as cost effectively as possible,” Elliott Brookes, Head of Property Disputes at B P Collins LLP.
Under Eliott’s leadership, his innovative strategies and collaborative approach have not only driven favourable outcomes for clients but have also fostered a culture of excellence within the practice. For example, Richard Fearn from Lanchester Securities Limited Ltd says:
“Elliott has excellent knowledge of his subject area, which he employs diligently in a calm, understated and pragmatic way. He is thorough and pre-emptive in managing a client’s path through the litigation process. He is very hard-working and produces well drafted and clearly expressed documents promptly and always ahead of the required timetable. His superpower is a natural ability to read his client and understand his client’s circumstances, objectives and desired level of involvement in the process. This empathy prevents any friction in the client – lawyer relationship, which enables Elliott and client to concentrate productively on the task in hand. Elliott is sensible, commercial, knowledgeable, very easy to work with and friendly.”
Elizabeth Bull, Legal Counsel, Property, Biffa adds: “Elliott has fast become my ‘go to’ for all property litigation matters – complex and more straightforward. Elliott provides practical, commercial solutions to matters as well as sound litigation advice. He also isn’t fazed by the occasional request for ad hoc advice. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to individuals or businesses, and I trust our working relationship will continue for many years to come.”
The Young Property Professional of the Year award is a celebration of emerging leaders in the property industry, and Elliott’s recognition underscores the importance that B P Collins places on innovation and commitment to client service.
