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

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers how local authorities exercise their children’s services responsibilities when a child may need protection or welfare support, and how this affects families. A solicitor in this field handles proceedings and decisions that involve safeguarding, step-in measures, and long‑term plans for a child’s welfare within the family court system. They represent the interests of the child or guardian, review care or supervision plans, and assist with applications for orders or placements under the Children Act, including safeguarding investigations and child arrangements where appropriate.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The stakes are high because key welfare decisions—such as removal from the home or ongoing supervision—affect a child’s future and rights. A solicitor provides guidance on the timeliness of orders, the evidential requirements in care proceedings, and the protection offered by orders like care orders, supervision orders, or permanence arrangements, with attention to safeguarding duties, court procedures, and adherence to regulatory standards.

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.
