Children...

Whether it is an application for a care order, contact, residence or any children related matter, we have particular expertise in this area. This can also include emergency applications at short notice. Our breadth of experience allows us to advise you quickly and we explain legal jargon to you in a manner you can understand. We pride ourselves in achieving our principle goal in ensuring you accomplish the best result possible.

Who we represent

The department handles all aspects of public child care law and represents children, guardians, The Official Solicitor, central government agencies such as CAFCASS, parents and other carers of children.

How we can help you

It is unfortunate that sometimes the state has to intervene in family life. Children may be hurt or neglected. Sometimes this is deliberate, and sometimes it is accidental. No two cases are identical. We recognise that just as each child is different, so is each case and at Smith Partnership we tailor our advice to each individual client to help them obtain the best outcome possible in what could be a difficult and traumatic experience.
