History

The practice was a small general practice providing legal services including compensation law, family law, commercial law, property disputes, sales and purchases. Then, the firm expanded to include compensation claims. In 1990, Courtenay Poulden joined BPC Lawyers as a partner. Later in 1993, the firm expanded when it merged with Flannery Mura & Costello, a firm specialising in compensation law. The expanded firm came to be known as Beilby Poulden Costello with its initiators, Barry Beilby and Courtenay Poulden as partners. In 1997, Scott Hall-Johnston also joined the firm as partner, followed by  Mark Nelson in the same capacity. In 2013, Barry Beilby stepped down from his role as partner and became a consultant.
