The Family team at Blake Lapthorn has extensive experience in representing parents and grandparents of children who have been taken into care by the local authority.  Specialist advice is an absolute must in this often fraught area of legal practice.

Representation at the Family Proceedings Court can be provided by our skilled team of advocates, two of whom are members of the Law Society’s Children Panel.  Prompt intervention may help to prevent the making of a full Care Order (and/or adoption of the child or children concerned) and ensure a return to normal family life.
