We specialise in working with families and carers of disabled and vulnerable individuals, helping them plan effectively for the future. Our team has built its excellent reputation on understanding the needs of parents and carers – all of whom are dealing with complex, often challenging lives, where it’s vital that they can understand their options.
We understand that planning for the future can be difficult and involve complicated decisions. This may be especially true when a disabled or vulnerable individual is involved and with their needs to also consider. Our philosophy is to simplify the process as much as possible and in certain circumstances, if the family feel it is appropriate, we look to include the disabled and vulnerable person in the process and at key meetings.
The 2022 edition of the Legal 500 reports the following:
The team is co-headed by Philip Warford and Katherine Miller – the duo ‘live and breathe the values of the Mental Capacity Act 2005, putting these in to practice for the benefit of clients and their families.’
‘Renaissance Legal provide a unique legal service to people with learning disability and their families. A caring, professional and competitively priced firm that understand that it is just as important to put people at ease as it is provide good advice.’
‘Philp Warford is excellent at putting vulnerable people at ease.’
‘The practice is unique due to its specialism in supporting adults with learning disabilities and the parents of children (including children) with learning disabilities. The team’s expertise in mental capacity and planning ahead for this client group is impressive, and sets them apart from private client teams who do more generic work.’
As well as advising families and carers of disabled individuals, we also provide legal advice to private individuals, families – young and old, the vulnerable and the elderly. We have long-standing relationships with clients across Sussex, the South East and London. Our offices are based in central Brighton and our team also have access to offices in London Euston and Crawley.
We also offer Skype appointments for people who are based outside Sussex or London, or have difficulties leaving or travelling away from home, which provides access to our experts from anywhere in the UK. Our offices in Brighton has disabled parking at the front of the building and we also have disabled access into the building. Parking is available for clients at our Brighton office, this needs to be booked in advance of your appointment.
Our team of specialist lawyers are members of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners, Solicitors for the Elderly and the Law Society’s Private Client Section. Our Managing Director is also recognised by prestigious legal directory Chambers UK as a leading expert in private client law.
