Care Proceedings, Social Services, and Public Law Advice

At BG Lawyers, we specialise in public law care cases, offering expert legal representation to families involved in child protection proceedings. We understand the emotional complexity and high stakes of these matters, and we are committed to protecting the rights and well-being of both children and parents.

Our dedicated team provides comprehensive legal support throughout the entire process—from the initial involvement of social services to court hearings. We work tirelessly to ensure that local authorities follow proper procedures and that our clients’ voices are heard and respected.

In care proceedings, we advocate strongly for family reunification wherever it is appropriate and safe to do so. We also assist in identifying suitable alternatives to local authority care, such as placement with trusted family members or friends. Our solicitors are highly experienced in challenging expert evidence and in presenting clear, persuasive arguments in court.

For cases involving children already in care, we advise on contact arrangements and support parents in working towards reunification with their children. Where appropriate, we also assist in appeals against care orders, always taking a thoughtful, strategic approach to each case.

At BG Lawyers, we accept both private and legal aid clients, making specialist family law services accessible to all families facing public law proceedings. Our commitment is to provide sensitive, professional, and results-driven representation tailored to achieve the best possible outcome for your family.
