Top 10 of 1,643 law firms for Adoption and Special Guardianship, Child Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers adoption, which ends the legal parent–child relationship and creates a new permanent status for a child, and special guardianship, which grants long‑term parental rights without full adoption. A solicitor helps with court applications for adoption or Special Guardianship Orders, drafts and files petitions, prepares evidence and welfare reports, coordinates with local authorities and birth relatives, and represents the client at hearings in the family court under the Adoption and Children Act 2002 and related legislation.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The decisive steps involve court orders that permanently shape the child’s upbringing and legal rights. A solicitor ensures timely, properly evidenced applications, monitors consent requirements, and navigates any implications for inheritance, contact, and parental responsibilities. Delays or errors can affect the child’s future stability and the family’s legal position.

Sarah-Jane Varley I required the services of a solicitor due to allegations made by a parent/guardian. I contacted a numbers of solicitors before deciding to appoint Sarah-Jane Varley.

Once the detailed has been gathered I found Sarah-Jane Varley utilised excellent verbal and written communication skills which helped reduced the stress of situation. As the case progressed I found Sarah-Jane Varley proved to be hardworking and persevering bringing the case to a successful conclusion. I would therefore have no hesitation in recommending Sarah-Jane Varley as your solicitor. Paul

Sarah Ward

Tagged solicitor Sarah Ward

I cannot put into words how amazing Sarah is, I don’t think I could have got through the last year and a half without her. Sarah is always at the end of the phone and truly cares about you and your case. Her advice is fantastic and she will fight for what is right but also make sure you know the facts and what to expect. I have worked with solicitors in the past and never ever came across anyone like Sarah. You feel like you are a total priority and from the bottom of my heart anyone who is dealing with child arrangement orders and child matters you need Sarah because in situations where you feel like there is no end she will find that light and take no prisoners on her way. She is simply the best and the best decision I made was calling Sarah over a year ago. Thank you Sarah for everything.
