Top 10 of 1,643 law firms for International Child Abduction, Child Law

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.

Louise Buttery

Tagged solicitor Louise Buttery

I was in a very difficult place for many reasons due to my situation but I gave FLP a call and from the moment I received a callback from George and then Louise, I was instantly reassured and put at ease. Louise was empathetic and kind towards my situation and helped keep me focused to get a strong evidence led foundation in place. She is very good at maintaining communication with me, resolving any arising issues, and keeping me advised throughout the process. It was a pleasure to work with her and very grateful for her support and help. She knows the law back to front and how to best navigate it all to get a good outcome that is in the best interest of the children. She is a true asset to FLP!

Olivia Simpson

Tagged solicitor Olivia Simpson

I am extremely grateful for the support I received from my solicitor throughout my child arrangements case. Olivia was helpful, supportive and there for me every step of the way. She explained everything clearly, kept me informed and made a very stressful process much easier to manage. I couldn’t have asked for better support and would highly recommend her.

Talia was my solicitor helping me to respond to a series of false allegations, and to get custody of my children. She was extremely professional throughout - offering me calm and clear guidance on all aspects of my case and keeping me updated on progress and next steps. Very happy with the final outcome, and how Talia got me to that point

James Legg

Tagged solicitor James Legg

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.

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...
