A niche law firm which does things differently

Our Company

PHP Law LLP is a law firm.

It was established in 2019 by its partners to provide outstanding legal support, with a moral compass, in accordance with a clear set of values. We are based in the southwest but work with clients across the Country. 

Initially set up as a niche education sector firm, as we grow our range of services is expanding. The thread that runs through all our services is our values. After many years of supporting schools and colleges within the environment of a firm of solicitors, the founding partners of PHP decided that they wanted to break free of the restrictions that an often staid profession imposes. PHP has at its core a moral purpose; to support its clients in a way which allows you to concentrate on what matters to you.

Our teams are made up of talented lawyers who understand that in order to live our values, we have to be more than mere lawyers. To steal an analogy from Professor Steven Craver, when you buy a drill, it’s not the drill you want. It’s the hole! We understand that when you instruct a lawyer to do something, it’s not the law you want, it’s the outcome.   

We are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority giving you the peace of mind that we are held to the highest regulatory standards.

“From the outset, it quickly became clear that PHP are a perfect fit for our Trust. As a values-led organisation, it is very important for us to work with partners who are aligned with us.

Their passion for education underpinned our decision to work with them, as we share the same vision for excellence which is most rewarding. We believe it is important to work with a legal team who are not only experts in their field, but who are also approachable and transparent.

PHP are a team who will go that extra mile to help us achieve the best possible results.  A great team to work with!”
