Anthony Collins Solicitors LLP

The Birmingham-based practice at Anthony Collins Solicitors takes on a diverse range of mandates for city and county councils across the UK, having acted on a number of residential and infrastructure developments, procurement strategies, and contract disputes. The team is particularly noted for its ability to handle local government reorganisation projects, having advised the likes of Somerset and Cumbria county councils on the governance and employment aspects of major local authority overhauls. Employment expert Matthew Gregson frequently works with governance lawyer Claire Ward in connection with such reorganisations and also represents local authorities in employment disputes. Consultant Olwen Brown is a key contact for contract and procurement matters, while Mark Cook assists clients with income-generating housing and infrastructure projects. Property experts Sandy Munroe and Richard Brooks are also recommended.
