Top 10 of 1,643 law firms for Local Authority Adoption, Child Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Local Authority Adoption in England covers the process by which a local authority facilitates permanent, legal caregiving for a child when a long‑term placement with their birth family is not possible. A solicitor helps adopters and birth parents with court applications, where the local authority must apply for an adoption order, arrange reports, and liaise with adoption agencies and guardians to ensure the child’s welfare and permanence are secured through legal orders under the Adoption and Children Act 2002.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key protection is securing a legally permanent home for a child through an adoption order, with safeguards around consent, parental rights, and the child’s welfare. Solicitors ensure compliance with court procedures, gather and present evidence, and coordinate with social workers, guardians and the court to avoid delays and preserve the child’s position.

Beth Sheridan

Tagged solicitor Beth Sheridan

I was represented in a child Arrangement Case by Beth Sheridan who works for Stowe Family Law. From the initial contact with this law firm I received the best service and advice. Beth was fully engaged in the case and she worked hard to get all the facts communicated to the courts clearly. The fact that this case was dealt with in 2021 during the covid lock down period, made it impossible to meet in person and discuss the case. However, I did not feel left out at any point as Beth was always available to respond to emails or telephone messages. Dealing with Stowe Solicitors and especially Beth, helped to give my family confidence to continue with life during a very difficult time when my daughter had just been diagnosed with a serious medical condition. I cant thank Stowe solicitors enough and would like to commend them for a job well done.

Alexandra Goldrein

Tagged solicitor Alexandra Goldrein

Alex, is nothing short of extraordinary. She has been a constant source of strength, offering empathy and support. She is professional, knowledgeable and reliable, in the event I could not reach her she would return calls promptly. I can’t recommend Alex Goldrien and Slater Heelis highly enough.

Jackie Colbert

Tagged solicitor Jackie Colbert

On learning I was being taken to court after my daughters father had cancelled mediation because he wasn't getting the outcome he wanted made me feel anxious, stressed and very upset. I met with Jackie who put it all into perspective and helped me understand that I hadn't done anything wrong and the situation was difficult. I explained that the request of additional time wasn't something my daughter wanted and that I was there for her. My daughters father moved the goal posts multiple time during the hearing and was very difficult to deal with. Having Jackie and a barrister's support during the whole process helped me cope with the situation and how they represented my daughter and me was second to none. They were straight to the point and kind and always acted in our best interest, which provided the best outcome for my daughter. I don't believe I would have got through it without them and I am forever grateful. Jackie and Tom thank you.

Danielle has supported me professionally throughout my process from start to finish. She is always on hand when needed and has continued to give the correct advice. I want to thank Danielle for her time spent on my case as she has always gone above and beyond to help where possible. Danielle showed a real understanding in children matters and this allowed us to get the outcome we had hoped for.

Grant Beveridge

Tagged solicitor Grant Beveridge

I have dealt with Grant for about two years and my case ended with a positive outcome. All dealings with Grant (and all at Thompsons) have been professional and I was kept updated regularly and in layman's language too. I intend recommending Thompsons Solicitors whenever possible.

Talal Talha

Tagged solicitor Talal Talha

I have been with Sabz Solicitors since 2019 and I must say they are reliable and the best so far. I have just received the best news I was waiting for, my baby's registration as a British has been successful and want to use this opportunity to thank my case worker Talal for his hard work towards this application. Kudos Sabz Solicitors, You have Done it Again.
