This area covers safeguarding and welfare for children, including the rights and interests of children in family and care proceedings. A solicitor practising in this field helps families navigate child protection matters, make and respond to applications about where a child should live, contact, or go to school, and advises on care plans, adoption, or supervision orders. They prepare court documents, gather evidence from schools, social services, and medical professionals, and represent clients in the family courts and related hearings.

“I cannot recommend Ardra highly enough. She has been exceptional throughout my family law case and provided an outstanding level of service from start to finish. Ardra handled my case with great professionalism, care and attention to detail. She demonstrated an excellent understanding of the legal issues involved and was always clear, thorough and reassuring in her advice. What stood out most to me was the way she handled me as a client. She listened carefully, understood what was important to me and always treated my concerns with respect and compassion. This was a very important and emotional matter for me, particularly as it involved spending time with my daughter following the court proceedings with her mother. Ardra worked diligently on my behalf and helped me achieve an outcome that allowed me to have that precious time with my daughter. Her professionalism, knowledge, dedication and genuine commitment to her clients are exceptional. I always felt that my case was in capable hands, and her support made a very difficult process much easier to navigate. Thank you, Ardra, for everything you have done for me. I am extremely grateful for your hard work and would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking for an excellent solicitor who truly cares about her clients.”

“I am very happy with the service provided from this firm, also the barrister that was assigned to assist during the court hearings. The Solicitors were easily contactable and always replied quickly and were informative. They took away mass amounts of stress during this difficult time and I feel going forward there is a clear plan for my child to spend time with her father. Thankyou very much.”

“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. Sarah-Jane Varley demonstrated patience, understanding and excellent listening skills as the context of the case was outlined. 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”

“James has represented me as a Barrister in the last two court hearings in complex proceedings for child arrangements that lasted two years and with a last bundle of documents comprising of 389 pages. Although he wasn’t representing me for the first three hearing, his knowledge and insight on my case was excellent and what he brought to the Court attention in my last two Position Statements was decisive. His help and idea, to apply for an urgent in person hearing to solve a mistake made by an external agency for a Psychological Assessment ordered by the Judge, was crucial. Without his professional advice we wouldn’t have been able to submit such an important document. I am very grateful that, even though he is a In-House Barrister, he agreed to represent me also in my last hearing, even though it was a Pre-Trial of a Fact Finding Hearing. As the proceeding where taking a high toll on my mental health, with anxiety and PTSD, I appreciated very much his calm composure, preparedness, capacity to build trust and his empathy. ”
