Protecting vulnerable individuals while enabling and supporting them to make decisions in respect of their own care and treatment is the cornerstone of the Mental Capacity Act and Mental Health Act.
Providers face strict obligations under these laws and organisations must still manage highly emotive, time-critical and sensitive cases, both in and out of hours.
Our team of specialist lawyers have been at the forefront of shaping the law in this area in the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court, influenced national policy, and established the firm as the UK’s leading experts on the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and Mental Health Act 1983.
With more independently ranked practitioners than any other firm, clients benefit from unparalleled depth of expertise in this critical area of law. Our team supports on acute matters including, urgent serious medical treatment cases, deprivation of liberty applications, Continuing Care challenges or questions about detention and care under the Mental Health Act.
Nationwide case handling, supported by in-house advocacy and fixed-fee options for multiple applications, helps clients manage their organisations costs effectively while safeguarding the rights and wellbeing of vulnerable individuals.
