Law firms ranked by client reviews

This work covers applications to place a child for adoption under the Adoption and Children Act 2002, sought through court in care proceedings to obtain a placement order. A solicitor drafts and files the application, gathers social services and welfare reports, and coordinates with the guardian and any counsel. They represent the client at hearings to obtain or oppose a placement order, ensuring all evidence is properly served and the child's welfare is the central consideration throughout the process.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The crucial step is the court granting a placement order, which authorises the local authority to place the child for adoption. The solicitor explains the implications of the order, manages timing and guardianship matters, and ensures compliance with statutory thresholds, safeguarding timelines and evidential requirements to protect the child’s immediate and long-term welfare.

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.

Michael Hicks

Tagged solicitor Michael Hicks

Michael Hicks assisted me during divorce proceedings and child act proceedings. He is extremely approachable, professional yet empathetic lawyer. My case was complex (divorce, family matters, contact of non resident parent and child) and dragged due to my ex partner being unreasonable. However I am confident that I would not achieve what I did without the help of well informed and extremely efficient solicitor. If I was to use legal assistance in the future Michael would be the first person to contact. Thank you

I was incredibly impressed with Chloe when I spoke to her about a child arrangement issue recently. She was incredibly reassuring at a stressful time. She was considered and had a great manner.
