Craig Williams

I have been a client of B P Collins since 2009 and have used their Dispute Resolution, Employment, Property and Wills & Probate services. I have been very impressed by the quality of service across all areas. I find the staff trustworthy, professional, technically proficient and personable. I would mention Craig Williams in particular who has not just been the lead Partner on all Dispute Resolution matters but has also acted as the key relationship contact for me, whichever B P Collins service is being offered. He has been incredibly responsive, supportive and helpful to me over the years. I have no hesitation in recommending Craig and B P Collins.

We recently engaged Brachers LLP for support with a commercial property matter and were thoroughly impressed with the service we received. All members of the team were exceptional throughout — consistently proactive, responsive, and supportive at every stage of the process. As a non-profit organisation, we greatly appreciated their sensitivity to our budget. They went out of their way to ensure the service remained cost-effective without compromising on quality or attention to detail. Their professionalism, clarity, and genuine commitment to helping us achieve the best possible outcome. We would not hesitate to recommend Brachers LLP to others seeking reliable and professional legal support in the commercial property space.
