Court of protection solicitors
Supporting your loved ones for life
Finding out that someone close to you will need lifelong support to help manage their money, property, or care decisions can feel overwhelming. The Court of Protection exists to make sure that when people can’t make these decisions for themselves, they will still be made with a loved one’s best interests at heart.
As specialist Court of Protection solicitors, we see this as part of your claim, not a separate process. We’re here to make sure that the next chapter provides all the support your family needs for the years to come.

Helping you with the decisions that matter most
Professional deputyship
Appointed by the Court of Protection, a deputy is responsible for making decisions on a person’s behalf when they can’t make the decisions themselves. This usually involves judgements surrounding money, property, or personal welfare.
Stepping into this role for someone you love is a significant responsibility, and it deserves appropriate time to get it right. As experienced Court of Protection solicitors, we guide you through what’s involved, and our in-house deputyship service can take on the day-to-day management if that’s going to be easier for your family.
Putting everything into place, for as long as it’s needed
Life after a claim
A settlement is often not the end. Instead, it’s the point where the real work begins, even though it can be hard to know where to start. Part of your compensation is there specifically for future needs — home adaptations, therapy, equipment, everyday care — to help you build a life that genuinely works for you and your family.
We help make that happen in practice, from the role a case manager can play, to securing interim payments so support starts as early as possible. In brain injury cases, we’ve secured interim payments in excess of £1 million, to ensure that families don’t have to wait for a final settlement before getting the support they need.
Protecting what you’ll need for the future
Personal injury trusts
After everything you’ve been through to secure compensation, the last thing you want is for it to put other support at risk. A Personal Injury Trust keeps your compensation separate from your other savings, which can protect your entitlement to means-tested benefits that might otherwise be lost.
We are on-hand to help you work out whether a trust is right for you and for your situation, to set it up properly, and to provide the option of our in-house Professional Trustee service for additional support.
Living her dream
Elan’s Story
After a failure to properly monitor her during labour left Elan with hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) and cerebral palsy, we secured an early interim payment to help her family adapt a new home, including a hydrotherapy pool, and put the right support and equipment in place. Elan is now working towards her dream of becoming a dressage Paralympian.
