The Court of Protection is a specialist Court that deals with the affairs of people who lack mental capacity to make certain decisions for themselves.
It aims to protect the rights of people who have difficulty in making some decisions, including people who have a brain injury, learning disability, dementia, mental health diagnosis or other disabilities that affect their ability to make particular decisions.
We have a specialist team with a wealth of experience in these matters, both within the UK and internationally. Whether you are a family member seeking assistance, the person at the centre of the decision, an Independent Mental Capacity Advocate, a solicitor, a health and social care professional or a charity - we can help you in relation to Court of Protection matters and mental capacity issues more widely.
