Serjeants’ Inn is at the cutting-edge of the law concerning decision-making for those lacking capacity. Our work encompasses all aspects of health and welfare and property and affairs (involving assets in the UK and internationally), both contentious and non-contentious. Our barristers regularly advise and act for the Official Solicitor, the Office of Public Guardian, NHS Bodies, attorneys, deputies (professional and lay), trustees, charities and family members in relation to a broad variety of legal and factual issues. We are highly sought after by clients seeking advice in this area and the overlap with family and probate work.

Ranked as Band One for Court of Protection by both leading legal directories, clients quoted in Chambers UK describe us as “always the first port of call for complex and high-profile cases." With “simply superb” Clerks and a dedicated Client Care Team which is “unique at the Bar”, we are well equipped to support our instructing solicitors in meeting the requirements of private clients, drawing on a track record of assisting ultra-high and high net worth individuals and families across a range of disciplines, including human rights claims, inquests, medical law, information law and business and specialist crime.

Over the last 10 years Serjeants’ Inn has expanded its silk team from 9 to 25 KCs, recruited 43 new tenants and won 52 awards. We are described by the Financial Times as “stand-out” in terms of our success in “facilitating a partnership between clients and Chambers and introducing initiatives to help clients…”.
