Law firms ranked by client reviews
Infanticide in England covers a specific historic and defence-based area within criminal and mental health law, where a mother who has killed her infant may rely on a special “infanticide” defence under the Infanticide Act 1938, typically linked to postpartum mental disturbance. A solicitor practising in this area advises on the availability and scope of the defence, opportunities to challenge Crown evidence, and engagement with psychiatric or forensic mental health assessments. They may also assist with disclosures, court representations, and possible orders or conditions arising from mental health proceedings affecting the case.
