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.

Kate BanerjeeLisa Stephenson

Tagged solicitors Kate Banerjee and Lisa Stephenson

I can’t believe I am finally at the end, Kate and Lisa supported me for over two years throughout the most traumatic experience of my life. I ended up in a situation with my children that I never imagined possible but I thank Kate and Lisa for their continued support, professionalism and guidance in navigating this process which at times I felt was completely overwhelming. They supported me through many tearful conversations. I hope to never need the services of Kate and Lisa again but I am very grateful for them being there when me and my children needed it. Thank you.

Imogen Peddle

Tagged solicitor Imogen Peddle

From the first moment I contacted them to the end of my child custody case they have been amazing. Imogen has supported me all the way through and I would never have got through this without her. I came from a domestically abusive relationship and she has been kind, gentle and firm with me all the way through making sure we get everything right for the process whilst supporting me. I could not recommend them enough. Anna was also incredible when Imogen was on leave. 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.
