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.

Kate BanerjeeLisa Stephenson

Tagged solicitors Kate Banerjee and Lisa Stephenson

I can’t believe I am finally at the end, Kate and Lisa supported me for over two years throughout the most traumatic experience of my life. I ended up in a situation with my children that I never imagined possible but I thank Kate and Lisa for their continued support, professionalism and guidance in navigating this process which at times I felt was completely overwhelming. They supported me through many tearful conversations. I hope to never need the services of Kate and Lisa again but I am very grateful for them being there when me and my children needed it. Thank you.

Imogen Peddle

Tagged solicitor Imogen Peddle

From the first moment I contacted them to the end of my child custody case they have been amazing. Imogen has supported me all the way through and I would never have got through this without her. I came from a domestically abusive relationship and she has been kind, gentle and firm with me all the way through making sure we get everything right for the process whilst supporting me. I could not recommend them enough. Anna was also incredible when Imogen was on leave. Highly recommend.

I needed last minute advice before a court hearing and Ryan Revell was prompt on seeing to give me the advice I much needed for court, which put my mind at rest for the court hearing, Made clear advice with a smile. Radiator also made me very comfortable on arrival and through my telephone conversations.

Amber Oakley

Tagged solicitor Amber Oakley

I used the services of Evolve Law from 2022-2023. From my first meeting to the end of my court case, I received a personalised service. My Solicitor A.O, was professional, accommodating and supportive. I was relaxed throughout the whole process for someone who gets anxious easily. I was able to get the right child order that worked fully in the best interest of my child. Court proceedings for Child order can be stressful and daunting, but with the right firm and Solicitor, I felt supported in my decisions and got the right advice when I needed it. I will highly recommend using Evolve Family Law for any Family matters. They deserve 5 Stars...

Lucy Whittaker was extremely supportive throughout difficult/stressful proceedings. I received professional and sensible advice throughout. Lucy went above and beyond to get the best, child focused outcome for my little boy and I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you for everything you have done for my family. I would highly recommend.
