BHP Law has a long history of advising clients across the North East with its roots dating back to the early 1800's.  Many of our clients have grown with us and we support generations of families who continue to instruct us on a range of legal services.

The origins of the firm start in 1835 when Steavensons Plant and Park was established in Darlington and Burt Hart & Pratt (formerly LJ Heron & Co) was established in Durham shortly after the end of the second world war.  In 1993, the two firms merged to create Blackett Hart & Pratt.

Over the course of the next 25 years, Blackett Hart & Pratt expanded further by merging with the following firms:

• Walton Hardy & Clough (Darlington) in 1998
• Deas Mallen Solicitors (Newcastle-Upon-Tyne) in 2001
• Winskell & Winskell (Newcastle-Upon-Tyne) in 2003
• Harvey & Marron (Newcastle-Upon-Tyne) in 2006
• Anderson & Haggie (Newcastle-Upon-Tyne) in 2006
• James & Baker (Teesside) in 2007
• Adamsons/J W Mitchell Dodds (North Shields) in 2007

In July 2006, Blackett Hart & Pratt (the partnership) converted to a limited liability partnership to be known as Blackett Hart & Pratt LLP and started trading as BHP Law in 2008.
