Practice Areas

Wards of court (High Court)

A person may be made a ward of court where the court finds they lack capacity to make decisions for themselves. We regularly appear before the President of the High Court in wardship applications, representing public bodies, committees, and individuals appointed as guardians.

Enduring powers of attorney

An enduring power of attorney lets you appoint someone — usually a family member — to manage your personal and financial affairs if you lose capacity in future, so those affairs can be handled quickly by someone you trust.

Mental health (Mental Health Act 2001)

Detention in an approved centre is governed by strict requirements under the Mental Health Act 2001. We advise and represent both patients and public bodies through tribunals and court applications relating to detention.

Child care (All court levels)

Where a child's welfare must be decided by the courts, we prioritise the child's rights and a collaborative approach. We've represented clients at all court levels, including applications under the Child Care Act 1991 and special care applications in the High Court.
