We are so proud that our Mental Health department has ranked for the very first time in Chambers and Partners 2027 as Band 2 – a huge milestone for the team and one that truly reflects the dedication they bring this area of practice.

‘Founded in 2018, Reeds Solicitors has developed a diverse nationwide team across Cardiff, Bristol, Luton and Manchester. The firm prides itself on its tailored approach, keeping vulnerable clients’ needs at the forefront. The team has extensive experience representing clients in Mental Health Act matters, as well as handling complex cases, such as for clients detained under IPP sentences.’

We are thrilled to share that our Court of Protection team has ranked Band 4 in Chambers and Partners 2027 – marking our second year running in this category.

Chambers and Partners note:
‘Reeds Solicitors has a strong Court of Protection team, highly capable of advising on complex health and welfare proceedings. The team acts for clients lacking capacity due to mental illness, acquired brain injuries, neurodiversity and learning disabilities, taking instructions from the Official Solicitor as well as protected parties and their families.’

They also highlighted that:
‘They are particularly strong in navigating contentious and multiparty matters, and the team approach these cases with a level of emotional intelligence and pragmatism that complements their clear legal expertise.’

This recognition means so much to us. Our Court of Protection team supports some of the most vulnerable people in society, often during moments that require sensitivity, steadiness and compassion. The work is demanding and deeply personal and yet our team approaches every matter with patience and genuine care.

A huge well done to everyone involved in achieving this recognition, we are so proud!

10/10/2026

Today on World Mental Health Day 2026, we are reflecting on this year’s theme of ‘Lived Experiences: Real Voices, Real Change’ is a powerful reminder that meaningful progress in mental health starts with listening to the people whose experiences shape the conversation.

In the legal profession, we meet clients whose mental health journeys are complex, personal and often deeply challenging. Our Mental Health solicitors ensure that individuals facing mental health are supported with empathy and specialist knowledge.

We also recognise the wellbeing of our own team – legal work can be demanding, emotionally heavy and fast paced. That’s why we provide access to an in-house therapist who offers confidential support whenever they may need it.
