The Role

You will work closely with the Partner overseeing this new team to provide comprehensive legal advice and representation to clients and family members, within the context of the Mental Capacity Act and other relevant legislation.
Areas of work will include the management of Property and Affairs Deputyships, working with brain-injured and vulnerable clients, Trust management, assisting with tax affairs and accounts, Personal Injury Trusts, Lasting Powers of Attorney, and the full range of applications to the Court of Protection.
Other work will include monitoring clients’ budgets to ensure fund sustainability, liaising with case managers, doctors, therapists, care teams, care homes, and other specialists.
