Mental Health

We understand how distressing and confusing issues surrounding mental health problems can be for both the person experiencing the problems and their relatives.

We provide a sympathetic and understanding approach to mental health issues. Our lawyers who deal with these challenging cases are both members of the Law Society’s Mental Health Review Tribunal Panel. This means that they are recognised by the Law Society as specialists in this type of work. They have the experience and expertise to represent patients at tribunal hearings, to ensure that rights and best interests are protected.

Our expertise covers all aspects of mental health law, including:

• representation of patients before a Mental Health Review Tribunal
  
  
• advising persons in the community about their rights and services that should be provided for them
  
  
• advising nearest relatives who have concerns about the treatment of a family member
  
  
• advising and representing nearest relatives where an application has been made by the local authority to the county court for the patient's removal.
