These tables rank the leading lawyers and firms around the UK who handle proceedings brought in the Court of Protection concerning individuals who are considered to have lost the capacity to make their own decisions according to the Mental Capacity Act.
Work may relate either to the management of an individual's property and financial affairs, or to their health and welfare, via those with Lasting Power of Attorney, Enduring Power of Attorney, or an individual appointed by the Court as a deputy.
Firms can submit separately for Property and Affairs and for Health and Welfare. We rank separately any firms and lawyers that specialise in handling Health and Welfare proceedings on behalf of public sector clients, such as NHS Trusts and local authorities.
