Goodman Ray is a powerhouse in children public law, representing parents and children through their Children’s Guardians. We have a strong team of accredited lawyers dealing with a wide range of cases including complex medical cases, cases where the effects of undiagnosed medical conditions are confused with signs of abuse, allegations of physical injury, as well as cases involving allegations of sexual and emotional abuse.

In 2022 the firm moved to offices at 9 Gough Square, in the heart of London’s legal center, a stone’s throw away from the Royal Courts of Justice and the Central Family Court. Their new offices provide conference and meeting rooms, suitable for remote Court hearings, meetings, and an open-plan area to host seminars, training events and to encourage collaborative working. Goodman Ray opened a second office in Brighton following a significant increase in work on the South Coast, with a permanent address a few minutes from the Family Court.
