This regional firm has a national profile and reputation built up over years of dedicated service to the most vulnerable.

“Suffice it for me to say that CLP’s lawyers operate at the very cutting edge of Housing Law and its related areas and that their appellate work has made a significant difference to the property rights of the under privileged and disadvantaged nationwide….. I have witnessed first-hand the dedication and skill of their lawyers in cases which are never destined for the Supreme Court….. These are the tenants in rent arrears, the unlawfully evicted, those suffering with housing disrepair, the vulnerable, the mentally ill or the incapacitated. The collective knowledge of CLP’s lawyers of how to deal with these cases – from their partners down to their para-legals – is in my experience second to none.” – Ben McCormack, Barrister

“CLP has also helped and encouraged other legal firms and advice agencies and has promoted good practice, including co-hosting free legal training sessions on Housing and Welfare Law for solicitors, advisors and other professionals working within the Birmingham area.” – Steve Wheeler, Environmental & Housing Consultant

“Since CLP’s foundation, I have learned to respect the firm both for the manner in which it conducts its cases and, more importantly, the way it treats its clients. There have been occasions where litigation could have been prolonged ( to the firm’s profit), but it was in the client’s interest to resolve matters speedily. On each occasion the interests of the client were placed above those of the firm” – Michael Singleton, Barrister
