Areas of Expertise

Clear Guidance When It’s Needed Most

What Is the Court of Protection?

The Court of Protection exists to protect people who lack the mental capacity to make certain decisions about their lives.

It handles cases about where a person should live, the care or medical treatment they receive and who should be appointed to make decisions on their behalf.

Our specialist Court of Protection lawyers ensure that every decision taken respects the person’s best interests and is compliant with the Mental Capacity Act 2005.
