Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Children Act proceedings, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Children Act proceedings cover how courts decide parental responsibility, residence, contact and safeguarding for children when families face separation, disagreement or risk. A solicitor guides the client through applications under the Children Act 1989, prepares statements, disclosures and witness evidence, negotiates orders such as residence or contact, applies for child arrangements orders, and represents the client at court hearings. The work often involves coordinating with social services, hospital or school staff, and ensuring the child’s welfare remains the court’s central concern.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The decisive factor is the child’s welfare and the potential for permanent changes to where a child lives or how they spend time with each parent. A solicitor helps navigate deadlines, court procedures and the availability of interim orders to protect the child’s best interests while the case proceeds.

I have had such a positive outcome. My solicitor respected everything I wanted in the family law case and guided me throughout the whole process. Emails and calls were answered within 24 hours. Kept very professional throughout. Everything was explained clearly, I was informed of everything step by step. I would highly recommend to anyone that is going through family court matters.

Tagged solicitor Michelle Collins

I have worked with the Private Client team for nearly a decade (relating to post-bereavement matters) and have found them responsive, knowledgeable and - most importantly - able to speak in plain English. The issues I have faced have felt complex and overwhelming. They have helped me to understand what's needed and helped me put in a plan to work through and resolve issues.

Hi Kirsten.Thankyou for your kind words. I literally don't have words good enough to express how grateful to you that I am. You have been such a support and a rock to me throughout the years that it has taken to finally get me to this point. I'm eternally grateful. You are the best! This whole journey really has shown me what it is to always fight for what's right and to remain strong in the most challenging situations. Most importantly to never give up and that absolutely anything is possible. Dreams do come true. I'm grateful for having the opportunity to surround myself with honest, strong, uplifting, inspirational ladies such as yourself. You inspire me.

We have had contact with Alex and Zena in the preparation of our wills and Powers of Attorney and found both of them to be very friendly and approachable. They answered our questions fully and were very efficient in the preparation of our papers. They make you feel comfortable and are both very informative. Adam at the reception desk was also very friendly and helpful.
