The firm has a wide-ranging practice in community care law and mental capacity issues.
The firm concentrates on litigation, and pursues public law challenges in relation to community care assessments, service provision decisions, service delivery, and charging. We act for a wide variety of community care service-users and their carers from across England and Wales. Our solicitors have acted in many of the leading cases in this area.
We are also experienced in providing advice on mental capacity issues. In particular, we act in welfare litigation in the Court of Protection, work which is linked to and has grown from the firm’s established expertise in conducting litigation for mentally-incapacitated persons in other courts.
Our community care and mental capacity expertise includes providing advice on the complex legal rules which seek to restrict access to community care services for migrants. The firm’s expertise in this area dovetails with its leading role in litigation around issues of migrant support and immigration detention.
Our lead solicitors for community care and mental capacity cases are Stephen Pierce and Polly Glynn.
