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.

Bethan was invaluable when it came to guiding me through the complex procedures of divorce. Getting a financial order was essential and would have been extremely difficult without her help and support. I would recommend Bethan Tapper and Wendy Hopkins Family Law Practice!

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

Leon Messam

Tagged solicitor Leon Messam

Leon Massan and his firm were absolutely brilliant. We had a really difficult experience with a different solicitor at the start, but Leon was completely different. His knowledge of family law was amazing, but what stood out most was how he used it – he was completely non-judgmental, took the time to acknowledge that I have autism, explained everything clearly in simple terms, and secured an outcome far better than I ever thought possible. He was humane, thoughtful and truly client-focused, putting my needs first every step of the way. I would recommend him and his firm to anybody and everybody. --- Thank you from all the family
