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

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Relative Adoption covers legally adopting a child where the prospective adoptive parent is a relative or someone close to the child, in England. A solicitor in this area handles applications to the family court for an adoption order, drafts and negotiates the consent and related welfare reports, prepares the necessary court documents, and liaises with the local authority, adopters, and the child’s birth family. The process is guided by the Adoption and Children Act 2002 and care proceedings when relevant, and results in the transfer of parental rights to the adoptive relative. The work may involve welfare assessments, home studies, and post-adoption matters such as contact arrangements.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key decision is the adoption order, which permanently transfers parental rights and responsibilities. A solicitor provides guidance on timing, evidence, and any competing claims, and ensures timetables and court steps are met, with attention to safeguarding and the child’s welfare throughout the process.

Tagged solicitor Bradley Bernett

I have been using Curwens's services for close to a decade for property transactions as well as family matters. I would recommend them to anyone looking for help on conveyancing and legal matters. Their approach has always been incredibly professional while remaining friendly and courteous. In many cases, Bradley and his team helped move our transactions along far quicker than any other firm would have done. Their level of professionalism is second to none.

Tagged solicitor Terina Farnan

I used Down's back in 2020 - 2022 to get divorced. It was a toxic and horrible situation and Terina's guidance, wisdom, knowledge and practical concern, really helped be during what was a very hard time. I got what I wanted, which was divorced, and I honestly used to really look forward to my calls with Terina to help me through it all. I recommend Down's. Their service was kind and polite.

Chris TaylorZahra Nawaz

Tagged solicitors Chris Taylor and Zahra Nawaz

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Eaton Smith twice now, and both experiences have been fantastic. Chris assisted me with the EULA for my indie game, and his kindness, thoroughness, and incredibly fast email responses made the entire process seamless. Later, when I needed a solicitor for my prenup, I immediately turned to Chris, who connected me with Zahra. She was just as professional and kind, going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. She even caught an error in our documents at 8 PM on a Friday and reached out immediately to help us fix it. Their level of attentiveness and professionalism is truly exceptional, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal services.

Hi Emily & Fazila, Thank you both for facilitating a new chapter in my life! As stress levels heightened towards the culmination of the process you kept your cool! I can honestly say that instructing Boyes Turner was the best decision ever and represented money well spent. Fazila you managed the bulk of the workstream and displayed professionalism of the highest calibre and your empathetic manner insured that a nerve-racking event was managed with care and compassion. Thank you!
