About

Phillips Law is a leading Hampshire law firm. Our core value is to save our clients from future chaos.

A culture of collaboration

Phillips Solicitors was established in 1986. Brain Chase Coles Solicitors was established in 1995. Both firms merged on 1 February 2020. The merger was an important step towards our goal of building the region’s strongest dynamic, full-service law firm, whilst maintaining the traditional values that both firms were built on. In 2021, Phillips acquired Henley’s Solicitors. In 2022, we became Phillips Law.

A track record for excellence

We are highly recommended by The Legal 500, the largest and most prestigious in-depth survey of the UK legal market. Phillips Law continues to grow organically, attracting the brightest talent, and a loyal client following who consider us a partner to their businesses and personal life journeys. Our clients regularly recommend us to their networks. Our core value is to bring our talented colleagues and networks together to deliver the strongest, most personal client/lawyer relationship a law firm can provide.

A history of innovation

We have always believed in being innovative and getting involved with regional businesses and our community, with a reputation that extends far beyond county borders. We pioneered the introduction of mediation services in north Hampshire and Legal focussed IT systems to deliver efficiencies in support of our clients. We were also one of the first law firms in Hampshire to be awarded the Cyber Essentials accreditation, in recognition of how seriously we take cyber security.
