Law firms ranked by client reviews

This work covers urgent cross‑border removal or retention of a child under the Hague Convention, where actions are pursued in English courts to secure return, access, or protective orders. A solicitor helps with the initial assessment, collects and inventories evidence, applies to the family courts (often the High Court or Family Court) for orders, negotiates with the other parent, and coordinates with the UK Central Authority and any relevant public bodies. Proceedings are time sensitive and involve international cooperation.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key instrument is the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction, plus domestic rules in the Family Procedure Rules. A solicitor defends or advances orders to secure prompt return or access, manages evidence highlighting risk or stability, and navigates international liaison. Crucial steps include filing petitions, arranging urgent hearings, and safeguarding the child's future arrangements while addressing potential appeals or related welfare considerations.

Georgina BurrowsOlivia Bailey

Tagged solicitors Georgina Burrows and Olivia Bailey

I had originally contacted Greens solicitors ltd to enquire about representation for changing my daughter's surname. After speaking with Georgina via video call it was agreed to go for further orders in my daughter's case. I met with Olivia who represented myself in court on both occasions and I honestly cannot express how happy and appreciative I am of everything she done for me. She kept me informed on each step and was able to answer any questions or concerns i had. Olivia had my daughter's best interests at heart and gathered all evidence that was beneficial for my case.

Kayleigh Bell

Tagged solicitor Kayleigh Bell

Kayleigh is a well informed children’s lawyer. She was particular and exacting in her approach to resolving my children’s matters throughout my divorce. I appreciated that Kayleigh took a mature problem solving approach as opposed to playing a ‘ for tat’ game that doesn’t benefit anyone. It was unfortunate that a Children’s agreement could not be reached after a long and complicated process despite Kayleigh giving her best. Note: I would recommend anyone facing an apathetic or unyielding opposition to take their matter straight to court to avoid a drawn out process with no outcome.

Nicola Conley

Tagged solicitor Nicola Conley

I had a very unique and unusual family case, with many moving parts, services and problems cropping up. Nicola handled every curve ball thrown at her. She was beyond professional, she was my rock professionally through the hardest time in my life. Nicola was involved in my complex case for approximately 3 years and never once lacked enthusiasm, support or fire to help me and what was best for my child. She absolutely put my child’s needs above all else and gave advise which was best when I was being led by emotion. I will always be using Nicola in the future should I need to. First class service and also service that was adapted to my needs.
