The Law Society’s Children’s Panel accreditation is a mark of excellence, demonstrating that solicitors have the necessary skill, experience, and knowledge to represent children through their Children’s Guardian or taking instructions directly from children, parents, and other family members in sensitive legal matters. Membership of the Panel is awarded only to those who meet the rigorous criteria set by the Law Society, ensuring the highest standards of advocacy and legal support in cases involving vulnerable children.

Dave Hodgetts, CEO of Talbots Law, commented: “We are immensely proud of our team for achieving this accreditation.

At Talbots Law, we are committed to delivering outstanding legal support to families and children across the region. To now have ten accredited solicitors on our team is a remarkable accomplishment and a testament to our dedication to excellence in family law.”

As an employee-owned business that places a focus on client care, Talbots Law continues to offer its team professional development opportunities to ensure that individuals and families can receive expert guidance during challenging times.
