Law firms ranked by client reviews
This work covers decisions about a child's residence, contact, care, permanence and legal status in Scotland, including referrals to the Children's Reporter, children's hearings, public‑law interventions, adoption and kinship or guardianship arrangements. Solicitors prepare papers for hearings and sheriff‑court actions, instruct or review welfare and medical reports, represent parents, guardians and local authorities before children's hearings and in the sheriff court, pursue or resist adoption and permanence applications, handle relocation and removal matters, and liaise with the reporter and social‑work services throughout statutory processes.
