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.

Qaisar Sheikh

Tagged solicitor Qaisar Sheikh

Highly recommend Qaisar Sheikh and all who have helped my 19 year old SEN daughter. Over the three years that it took from the LA's initial potential removal of EHCP at the end of 16 plus education to the successful tribunal to include further education at a specialist residential college, we have been supported and updated every step of the way. My daughter's original EHCP was full of outdated information and had only a quarter of what it has in it now. Qaisar helped with engaging the specialist advice to ensure a fully updated EHCP that is now a true representation of her actual needs and suitable provision. Qaisar Sheikh was not only extremely professional and knowledgeable on all levels but has is a very compassionate person. It is easy to see that the his work means a lot to him and how vested he is in achieving a great outcome for all children.
