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.

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!

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

Cheryl Cooper

Tagged solicitor Cheryl Cooper

After going through a messy break up with my daughters mother I was deprived of my child and had all services possible weaponized against me. I needed professional legal help. The firms solicitor I had was Cheryl copper who I can't thank enough for all her hard work and effort on my case. Cheryl was informative helpful and knowledgeable on the matter and went above and beyond to email and call me out of work hours when a safe guarding issue occurred and helped me to get my daughter into a safe environment where she's happy and thriving living with me. The barrister i had for court was also amazing at her job and fought my corner very well and made sure my daughter stays with me. I can't express my gratitude enough for all the hard work you've all put in over the months. It's been an absolute pleasure to have such a great team supporting me and my daughter. I will never forget how you helped me Cheryl. Thank you so much. Sincerely, Nicholas Rowlands.
