David Phillips and Partners are experts at dealing with matters involving children.
We specialise in:
- dealing with family breakdowns
- making (or varying) residence or contact arrangements
- adoptions
- emergency protection cases
- parental responsibility applications
- representation at child protection conferences
- dealing with social services both before and after proceedings.
Our specialist team is headed by Louise Fraser, a renowned expert in matters involving children. Ms. Fraser has been a member of the Solicitors' Regulation Authority's expert Children Panel for the past 15 years, and a practising solicitor for over 23 years. She heads a committed team of solicitors, trainee solicitors and assistants who are determined to fight for the best interests of their clients.
Our expertise and qualifications mean that we are regularly appointed by the Court to represent the Guardian in matters involving children. We are also happy to represent parents, grandparents and other concerned family members who have an interest in the child's welfare.
Because we specialise in often time-consuming matters involving children we regret that we are unable to deal with divorce or ancilliary matters.
