    This work covers private disputes about who a child lives with and sees and public law proceedings brought by local authorities, including care proceedings, placement and adoption applications, special guardianship and enforcement of contact. Solicitors draft section 8 child arrangements and specific issue applications, prepare statements and witness evidence, assemble social‑work bundles, engage with Cafcass and social services, negotiate without or attend pre‑proceedings (PLO) meetings, apply for emergency protection and represent clients in the family court and, for complex cases, in the High Court under wardship or inherent jurisdiction. The Children Act 1989 welfare checklist shapes most decisions.
