children rights Children and young people's rights
Grey line
The firm has a nationally recognised reputation in defending children’s and young people’s rights. At the heart of all casework that we undertake in this area is a detailed understanding of the overlapping areas of domestic and international law that protect and underpin the rights of the child and young people.

We act for individuals as well as NGOs all over England and Wales and have been involved in some of the most important case law for children and young people. We continue to push the boundaries for this important client group by engaging in innovative test case litigation. Our solicitors have acted in test cases for the education of looked after children and in the guideline case on the determination of age of undocumented migrant children. We also represent children and young people in the ECtHR

Our solicitors frequently give training to other lawyers on children’s rights and our expert understanding of both the detail and overview of how the different areas of law interrelate with each other in the protection of children’s rights sets us apart from all other law firms.

Our lead solicitors for children and young people’s rights are Zubier Yazdani and Polly Glynn.
