Praised for its ‘unparalleled service’, B P Collins LLP fields a team that is well-equipped to handle matters involving domestic abuse, behavioural issues, pre and post-nuptial matters, co-habitation, and high conflict divorces. The team is headed by the ’experienced, personable, and reassuring’ Laura Mortimer, who brings substantial experience in prenuptial matters and divorces, and is particularly well versed in supporting high and ultra-high-net-worth clients and children. Emma Leavesley is a specialist in financial matters who has expertise in strategy and asset protection, notably for neurodiverse clients and those suffering with mental illnesses. The team has been strengthened by the arrival of Javita Malhotra in September 2024; she holds a strong reputation as a contact for vulnerable women seeking financial advice.
