About

Provided by Freeths LLP

Freeths has an enviable team of experienced Court of Protection practitioners with a wide breadth of knowledge. The majority of our clients are brain injured and have received multi million pound compensation awards resulting in over £200 million of funds under management. We also have considerable experience of elderly clients with a rapidly developing caseload. Our expertise in welfare work is also growing at a fast pace.

We have exceptional expertise in dealing with high quality, high value and complex cases where clients require significant care packages, have complex equipment and property needs, have behavioural difficulties and complex finances.

We also have a highly regarded team of lawyers dealing with contentious situations, which can arise in these occasions as evidenced in some of the case studies provided.

We are particularly well known for:

• Professional deputyship work managing awards of compensation for clients who have suffered catastrophic personal injury;
• Professional deputies for clients with valuable estates to include several with large agricultural estates and businesses;
• Melanie Williams and Jane Maitland – appointed to the Office of the Public Guardian’s Panel of Deputies in July 2015. There are only 71 Panel Deputies throughout England and Wales;
