Who we
work with

Trusted by Local Authorities, Third Sector organisations, Charities and individual families

Whether you are acting in a professional capacity or are an individual concerned for a loved one, referring a vulnerable person to us for a Court of Protection Deputyship or Lasting Power of Attorney will follow a simple process.

We work with organisations as well as private referrals: local authorities, social care and third sector teams on one hand, and individuals and families supporting a loved one on the other.

Once you have reached out, we talk through the situation and the circumstances of the individual concerned, and share a referral form to collect the information we need.

A simple process

  1. We talk

    Once you have reached out, we discuss the situation and the circumstances impacting the individual concerned to advise on next steps.

  2. Referral form

    We will then share a referral form for completion to collect relevant information, so we can get the best understanding of the circumstances.

  3. Filling the gaps

    If we can help, we may work with you to fill in any gaps or collect further information.

We appreciate that every organisation will operate differently, so we collaborate with all relevant parties on an individual basis to ensure the best outcome for the vulnerable person.

We work closely with organisations across the UK, collaborating with Social Workers and care professionals to advise on the best course of action and collect the necessary information for a smooth referral process.

All of our services are delivered by specialist Mental Capacity Solicitors with extensive experience managing complex cases and working with clients who have high levels of care and support needs.

Private Individuals and Families

Whether you are an individual who is supporting a friend or loved one or a carer who is looking for some advice, we are here to help.

Individuals may come to us when they are concerned about someone’s ability to manage their finances, are planning for future vulnerability, or need independent support because there is no suitable family member able to act on their behalf.

In some cases, it may be in the person’s best interests for an independent professional Deputy to be appointed. Alternatively, there may be another trusted person who would be suitable to act in that capacity. We can advise on what options are available.
