Legal intervention in the life of a child by a local authority is one of the most complex and distressing events a family can experience. The removal of a child from the care of a parent is the most serious decision a British Court can make and, if you are a parent or a child affected by such an order, it is often the hardest to understand.

From Child protection Conference to High Court hearings our team of dedicated childcare solicitors ensure that our clients are fully represented at every stage of the proceedings with sensitivity and diligence.

We are able to act separately for children who are old enough to instruct a solicitor themselves and are used to dealing sensitively with family members with a number of difficulties including mental health problems, psychological difficulties and drug or alcohol addiction.

We have experienced advocates within our team who are able to represent people at all levels of court.
