Leading Conveyancing Solicitors in Blackheath
About Us
The firm was built on the foundation of debt recovery, which remains one of its largest fields of expertise, but has since then developed as a generalist full service solicitors practice with thriving departments offering commercial, private client, general litigation, and housing services.
Under the leadership of brothers Victor and Michael Judge and Peter Taylor, the firm expanded in the post war era opening several smaller offices around South East London. When the present site of its offices in West Street, Bromley, BR1 became available in 1980, it was decided to close down the satellite offices and focus on the single large Head Office site.
Continuity of management was confirmed when Peter Taylor’s son, Steven Taylor, took over. Steven acts as the firm’s current day Managing Partner.
In the 2000’s the firm embarked on an on-going round of growth generated both organically and through local acquisitions. Since 2005 J&P has acquired the business interests of Clarke Nurse, Wallis and Co, Preston Mellor Harrison, Pritchard Joyce and Hinds, Cunningham Blake and Woolsey Morris and Kennedy.
In June 2025 J&P completed its largest merger to date, with the central London practice of Portner Law Limited (Portner Solicitors). As a result, Judge and Priestley now has a staff count of around 300 people, operating from the head office in Bromley, with other local offices in London W1, Beckenham, Blackheath, and Sidcup.
J&P now has 40 partners and is one of the fastest growing practices in London and the South East region. This was confirmed in 2024 when Judge and Priestley achieved its first inclusion in the UK Legal 200, a listing of the 200 largest UK headquartered solicitors’ practices, and in 2025 with its first inclusion in The Times “Best Law Firms” annual listing.
In the community
As a progressive legal practice, we have long been aware of our wider responsibilities to the communities that we work in and serve, including the clients who trust us as their Conveyancing Solicitors in Blackheath. Though we have a long history of local community involvement, our commitment to adding social value has been formalised in recent years through the formation of two key committees, one covering Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and the other Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I).
The CSR Committee is headed by one of the equity partners, Robert Davis, and made up of staff members from across the business. The committee is tasked with agreeing and delivering on our environmental policies, and charitable / community engagement activities.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
At Judge & Priestley, we are proud of our record on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) and believe we are one of the most progressive firms in the legal sector, ensuring that our clients receive support from highly diverse and skilled Conveyancing Solicitors in Blackheath. The firm is committed to having a diverse and inclusive workplace which embraces equity. We are committed to tackling and combatting discrimination. This is not only a feature of our values but one of the firms’ objectives.
