Bindmans has a particular expertise in public law, so the cases I have done for them have had a Court of Protection link with public law, and also Mental Health Tribunals. It is a joy to work with solicitors who are au fait with CoP, mental health law and public law. This enables Bindmans to provide a holistic service to clients with especially complex needs.
