Anthony Collins

Anthony Collins is a thriving specialist law firm with a national reputation for advising individuals, charities and other not-for-profit organisations, local authorities, public-sector bodies and businesses throughout the UK.

For over 50 years, we’ve been successfully combining market-leading legal expertise, with a commitment to excellence and long-term relationships underpinned by our core purpose – to improve lives, communities and society. Our social purpose has been recognised with a prestigious B Corp accreditation, meaning our advice, culture and commitments, align with the work and aspirations of our clients.

We have a deep understanding of the health and social care, charities and social housing sectors and we are committed to being at the forefront of the issues and development of policy and legislation alongside the proficiency required to deliver practical, first-class legal services while ensuring our support is as easily accessible as possible.

We are delighted to be a strategic partner to VODG so we can support the critical work carried out by members.

Our Approach

Motivated by our purpose and with decades of experience and national influence, our approach is both proactive and reactive. We move quickly to manage urgent challenges – whether it's changes to the CQC’s assessment regime, HSE compliance, Ofsted inspections or not being paid sufficiently well by public sector commissioners. We ground our advice through our understanding of the industry’s enduring ongoing challenges.

Ranging from charity governance, employment and commercial property advice, to corporate and commercial transactions and handling regulatory issues, we have the depth of knowledge to help your organisation negotiate any challenge or opportunity regardless of size or complexity.

Our team is greatly experienced in managing change, resolving disputes, advising on TUPE and National Minimum Wage issues, as well as supporting with employment tribunals. We also have a team of corporate lawyers whose knowledge of the sector helps care providers to get the best possible deal when carrying out a merger, acquisition or disposal; raising funds or sourcing investment.

Our health and social care property experts can also lead on construction contracts, leasehold developments and property disputes whilst our commercial team ensures contracts are set up to protect your interest and our disputes team is ready to challenge whenever legal obligations are not complied with.
