Anthony Collins Solicitors is a specialist law firm with a clear purpose – to improve lives, communities and society. For over 45 years they’ve been successfully combining market-leading legal expertise with a commitment to excellence and long-term relationships underpinned by a strong set of values.

Founded in Birmingham in 1973 by Anthony Collins, they have pursued social purpose through the work they do and how they do it. This is reflected in the clients they work with and the sectors they serve. They are now nationally recognised across a number of specialist sectors.

• Health and social care
• Education
• Housing
• Charities
• Local government
• Social business
• Private individuals

Two of our players, club captain Alex Laud and stalwart David Evison work within the Private Legal Services sector at Anthony Collins. The firm offers a wide range of services for individuals with the aim of providing a holistic package for our clients to help them deal with all that life throws at them. Nobody likes to think about sad things or things going wrong, but planning can help you to manage when they do.

The Private Legal Services team is based at the firm’s offices in central Birmingham, their support is focussed on two areas: supporting clients and their families at pivotal times in their life, from birth through to death, helping them preserve and protect their assets, and helping people facing complex and critical events, such as personal injury, medical or clinical negligence, childcare issues, loss of capacity, and loss of employment.

The firm believes that a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach is inappropriate and inadequate, and we work alongside our clients, and those who care about them, to help them focus on what is important to them and work towards their personal goals.
