About
Provided by Hugh Jones Solicitors
We are the largest independent Court of Protection practice with 36 team members working only in this area, including 6 Directors – i.e., 100% of their time is spent on CoP work and deputy appointments growing 14% last year.
Our standing is based on the very wide range of work that the team does, in addition to Property and Affairs deputyship work (many with £multimillion to manage), we are instructed on difficult/complex dispute work, contested deputyships, financial abuse investigations including of other solicitor deputies and are the trusted partner of nine Local Authorities.
Four of our senior lawyers undertake expert witness work in 180 major personal injury and clinical negligence cases annually, usually where £multimillion is at issue.
Our reputation, confirmed is for a caring and expert approach, our national practice being serviced from a Manchester base, with clients located geographically throughout the country.
Unique amongst other COP teams, even those in multidisciplinary firms, we provide a full suite of services for deputyship clients. Our teams providing these services specialise only in COP clients, making their work bespoke and cost effective - including:
• Residential conveyancing team dedicated to COP clients.
• Welfare benefits
• Employment and HR for care teams (we directly employ 240 in 64 teams for our clients)
• Employment and HR services now provided to Professional deputies at other law firms who lack this area of expertise.
