Our dedicated team of Court of Protection legal costs experts specialise in handling this niche area on a day-to-day basis. They understand the ins and outs, the nuances and the broader issues and our national reputation for our Court of Protection expertise always precedes us and it’s why we’re currently instructed by over 150 Court of Protection firms nationwide, including 40% of the Panel Deputies. We can deal with all matters including:

Deputyship applications
General management periods

Gifting applications
Property work
Welfare proceedings
Trustee applications
Ad-hoc court of protection applications
Power of attorney matters

We prepare over 2,000 bills of costs in Court of Protection cases per year, and can identify common themes on assessment, as well as helping with requests for
re-assessments and appeals.

When you instruct us, we will tell you the cost of our services from the offset, so there are no surprises along the way. When it comes to the assessment of the bill, you are not expected to pay the shortfall.
