Child Care Solicitors in Coventry
We are one of only a few firms in Coventry with a specialist Childcare department. The solicitors in our Childcare team are accredited members of the Law Society Children Panel, with expertise in the area of law relating to children. The Children Panel logo indicates that the skills, knowledge and experience of member solicitors have been independently assessed and approved by the Law Society.
We will normally arrange a preliminary appointment with you to assess your individual situation before making a recommendation. We take a sympathetic approach and in each case, we seek to provide a service which ultimately benefits all parties concerned.
We also carry out agency work on behalf of other solicitors’ firms.
Areas of expertise include:
- Residence - where a child is to live
- Parental Responsibility - the responsibility for a child’s upbringing
- Contact - access to a child for parents, grandparents and others
- Change of Name - by consent or court order
- Care Proceedings - representation for children, parents, grandparents and others
- Adoption
- Special Guardianship - an alternative to adoption
- Child Protection - advice and representation at Case Conferences
