Members of our family law team have extensive expertise in public law children matters and our cases regularly include allegations of non-accidental injuries, substance misuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, fabricated and induced illness, neglect as well as cases involving the official solicitor, where capacity is an issue.
We regularly represent local authorities, parents, children, grand-parents and interveners in care cases. We are able to provide representation for our clients in emergency applications. We regularly represent our clients from the first hearing through to final hearing and appeal hearings when necessary. Whether the local authority is seeking a care order, a supervision order or suggesting a special guardianship order, our barristers are able to provide advice and representation.
