The JCP Story So Far

In November 2020 we celebrated our 30th Birthday. As we approach our 35th birthday in 2025, we reflect proudly on the calibre of the work that has been carried out on behalf of our clients as we look forward to the next thirty years and beyond. But where did it all begin?

The business originated from a firm called Holt Jones and Collins who practised from a small office in the centre of Swansea. Due to the fast expansion of the firm the Partners of Holt Jones and Collins took the decision to buy an office out of town on the Enterprise Park in Swansea. This was a difficult decision to make as almost all the law firms in Swansea at this time were in the town centre.

Holt Jones and Collins was dissolved in October 1990 and John Collins and Partners was formed on 1 November 1990 by Steve Penny, Keith Thomas, Paul Newman and John Collins.  At this point, the practice had 4 Partners and 20 additional members of the team.

Over the years the business in Swansea grew rapidly and the decision to move to the Enterprise Park proved to be the right one, as other law firms in the area started to follow.

We celebrated our 20th birthday on the 1 November 2010 with a bold new makeover, and although the company name remained at that time as John Collins and Partners LLP, the business began to trade as JCP Solicitors.

The new look reflected the modern, and professional way in which JCP operated as a business.

In April 2015, John Collins and Partners LLP became a limited company and officially changed the name of the business to JCP Solicitors Limited.

Our mission is to be a consistent outstanding provider of legal services, focussed on responsible growth that is sustainable and achievable through maximising productivity, retaining the best talent and working collaboratively.

We know that our structure must continually evolve to meet the needs of our people and our clients. The owners of the business are committed to building a sustainable business for future generations.

Some more key dates for the business include:

The business currently has 33 Directors, 180 team members, and offices in Swansea, Cardiff, Carmarthen, Caerphilly, Cowbridge, Haverfordwest, and St Davids.
