Law firms ranked by client reviews

Private adoption concerns arranging a permanent, legally formal placement of a child with adoptive parents outside of a local authority care plan, typically through the family courts under the Adoption and Children Act 2002. A solicitor helps with applying for an adoption order, drafting and filing court documents, and coordinating with potential adopters, birth relatives, and guardians. They also obtain home-study reports, assess suitability, address safeguarding and contact orders, and prepare or respond to any contested issues that arise in court proceedings.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

A solicitor explains the legal thresholds for allowing an adoption, helps gather and present evidence about the welfare of the child, and ensures compliance with professional standards and safeguarding rules, including conduct of court proceedings and adherence to regulatory duties. The process hinges on protecting the child’s welfare throughout the court process, with professional accountability and rights of audience in the family courts.

Zishan Zaman

Tagged solicitor Zishan Zaman

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Zishan at M & K Solicitors Ltd for his outstanding support during my child custody case. From start to finish, he was professional, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable. Zishan took the time to clearly explain every step of the process and ensured I fully understood my options. He was always responsive, patient, and reassuring during what was a very stressful and emotional time. His dedication and expertise made a significant difference in my case, and I truly felt that he had both my best interests and my child’s wellbeing at heart. I would highly recommend Zishan to anyone in need of legal assistance, particularly in family and child custody matters.
