We approach each case with a level of understanding only achievable through specialising in Child Care law. Whether involving social services, or a private law matter, it is important to be represented by those who understand how the law may affect you and your family.

We advise and represent parents, other family members, children and Children’s Guardians in all Public Law proceedings. These include proceedings where the Local Authority have applied for Emergency Protection Orders, Care Orders and Supervision Orders or where parents apply for contact with children in care and for the discharge of Care Orders as well as applications for Placement Orders. We can also advise and assist where children are voluntarily accommodated and we will attend local authority gateway meetings. We are there to support parents and provide them with advice and empower them during this difficult time.

Full legal aids usually granted to all parents and children involved in public law cases, regardless of financial means.

We also specialise in acting for children, parents and family members in other disputes i.e. where parents are separated and there are problems in facilitating contact or a dispute as to where the child should reside. Similarly, we are able to provide expert advice to those who are considering adoption.

Naomi Yeshua and Lorraine Bernstein are members of the Law Society Children Panel and Lesley Williams is a member of the Family Law Panel.   We have acquired a number of kite-marks which are a testament to the quality of the specialised work our staff undertake.
