About Us

Thank you for visiting the Cox Cooper Ltd blogsite.

Cox Cooper Ltd is a very unusual "niche" practice. We are almost unique amongst smaller firms for concentrating our skills in the fields of business and employment law, rather than offering a more conventional high-street "general practice".

We established our firm because we believed there was a need for a smaller practice specialising in these fields.

We believe we have many advantages over our competitors including; -

• A much more personal service
• Lower overheads than our larger competitors, meaning lower costs to you
• High-technology, allowing us to supply advice quickly
• A truly specialist service within a smaller firm.

Our directors, David Cooper and Andrew Cox had almost 20 years’ shared experience in major commercial law firms in the Midlands before they established Cox Cooper Ltd in 1995.

So how can Cox Cooper Ltd make a difference?

In brief, by combining all round practical commercial expertise, and a prompt professional service, with a reasonable approach to fees.

Let’s start by admitting our limitations. If you are looking to throw a whole team of lawyers at a multi-million pound deal or dispute, with staff available 24/7 until the job is done, and where cost is no object – well that’s not us. The big firms in this city are second to none when it comes to that kind of job, and we take our hat off to them.

But what about those (much more common) occasions when what you need is a piece of carefully considered advice, or some attention to a legal problem that is urgent but needs a proper perspective? Is it always necessary to accept that experience comes at a substantial price – sometimes an exorbitant one - or that your job will be passed down to junior and inexperienced lawyers?

We don’t think so. Our directors have had the city centre firm experience in employment law, commercial and corporate law and commercial dispute resolution, and we have brought it to the southern suburbs of Birmingham. And what we have left behind in the process are the high overheads, high costs, slow communication and inconvenience of location often associated with the traditional firms.

Nor have we left it at that. We embraced the communications revolution quicker than many. Using our computer skills to make the typing backlog a thing of the past. Negotiating documents in electronic form. Despatching documents instantly by email that might once have turned up days later in the post. Accessing information storehouses on our clients’ behalf to find out answers to key issues within hours, sometimes in minutes.

And when the overheads are lower, the fees can be lower too. A factor that is exactly what clients of all shapes and sizes will appreciate, especially small and medium sized businesses and senior or executive level employees. Just what we recognise.

That is how we think we can make a difference.

We are proud of the services and reputation of Cox Cooper Ltd. We hope that we are able to do business with you.
