Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Adoption and International Adoption, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Adoption, including intercountry adoption, covers the legal process to permanently place a child with a new family and to end the legal relationship with the birth parents. A solicitor helps with bringing or contesting an adoption application, preparing and lodging documents under the Adoption and Children Act 2002, and guiding the case through court procedures. For intercountry adoptions, they assist with the Hague Convention framework, ensure home-country safeguards are met, and address ongoing post-adoption responsibilities in England.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor handles the legal interest in safeguarding the child’s welfare, validates consent, manages evidence of suitability and placement, and navigates court authorisation. They also coordinate with local authorities, adoption agencies, and, for international cases, the relevant foreign authorities, ensuring all registration and post-adoption duties are fulfilled to secure a legally valid, lasting placement.

I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Colin - in fact, I have already passed his details on to others. He is highly professional and knowledgeable and goes above and beyond. Colin is equally very approachable and always happy to answer any queries you may have. He has guided me through challenging times, for which I will be forever grateful. Colin explains everything clearly and works tirelessly to achieve the best outcomes. I felt I was in good hands every step of the way. Many, many thanks

Leons extensive knowledge, competence and clarity of explanation at all stages during a difficult time meant that I trusted his advice and felt confidence in him throughout. Leon seemed genuinely committed to achieving the best outcomes and whilst consistently working hard , applied himself with a calm approach during a traumatic time which made it easier for me to manage. Such value for money and I would not hesitate in using him again.

Louise Kilty

Tagged solicitor Louise Kilty

In my experience the legal process for women fleeing DV especially those who flee with children is nothing less than harrowing, the process is lengthy, traumatising and expensive. However if you must go through it I can’t express enough how much of a difference good legal representation can make. Having had experience with other law firms also.. I can honestly say Louise was miles and miles better. She was knowledgable, efficient, friendly and reassuring (and I needed a lot of reassurance!). Louise understood my case and supported my stance fully. Highly recommended.

Tagged solicitor Michael Brierley

Having spent the previous 24 months going around in circles with another practice, it was a pleasure to be introduced to Michael at Stokes Partners who excelled in every sense of the word. From the initial phone call to the final email, his care, excellent advice and efficient service meant much more than words can ever express at a time when the family needed it most.

I would like to thank Maxwell Hodge for their work, it’s been a difficult time and not the most straight forward of circumstances to navigate. The team have gone above and beyond in supporting and getting things to the end goal. I can’t recommend them enough.
