Court of Protection Team: Covid 19 Update
The Court of Protection team are committed to providing our professional and lay clients with a very high quality service notwithstanding the restrictions imposed during the Covid-19 crisis. We have access to the necessary technology to enable our barristers and clients to participate remotely in conferences, round table meetings and court hearings. We are striving to ensure that our clients have timely access to a just and fair resolution of their cases.
The Court of Protection makes decisions about the management of finances and welfare of people who lack mental capacity to make decisions for themselves.
7BR’s Court of Protection barristers undertake work across the court’s jurisdiction, in both property and finance and welfare cases. Members act for public bodies, family members and for protected parties.
Many members of the Court of Protection team are also specialists in allied areas, such as public law, clinical negligence and child and family law.
We are able to assist in all aspects of the Court of Protection process, whether that be by advice pre-action, assisting in the initial application or through representation thereafter.
