Our dedication and passion run deep – our team includes a highly-respected mental health lawyer who has amassed a wealth of experience working in this complex and sensitive field, as well as a court-appointed deputyship solicitor, approved by the Court of Protection to act as a deputy on behalf of clients and their families.
On your side in the court of protection
Our mental health solicitors regularly provide high-quality, expert advice and support in Court of Protection matters. We are experienced in helping protect the welfare of vulnerable adults and children across the UK – our expertise includes protecting those suffering from impaired mental health who have had their rights infringed, perhaps in relation to their freedom or civil liberty, or have been denied their preferred medical treatment.

As a valued client of our leading full-service law firm, you will also have access to extensive and dependable legal and financial expertise from professionals you already know you can trust.

Ian Oliver and Paul Lewis of George Ide Solicitors, and their appointed barrister, were outstanding in helping us defend an HMO licensing prosecution by a local authority. This was a complex matter which should never have been taken to trial by the local authority. However, thanks to the care, knowledge and tenacity shown by George Ide, the correct judgment was given. Thanks again for guiding us through this stressful experience.
