Law firms ranked by client reviews
This area covers civil claims against local authorities for failures in social care, safeguarding or related services provided by England's local councils, including adults and children's social services. A solicitor in this field represents clients who allege the council failed to assess needs, arrange appropriate care, or safeguard someone from harm, or who defend against such claims. Proceedings are typically brought in the county or High Court, with evidence gathered from social services records, care assessments, care plans and medical or psychological reports to establish breach of statutory duties or negligence in the provision of support.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
A solicitor drafts and advances statements of case, collects social services records and care plans, instructs experts, negotiates settlements, and, if needed, pursues or defends appeals and reviews of care decisions. They coordinate with local authorities, health bodies, and care providers, and may seek remedies such as damages or protective orders where relevant.
