London’s Top Children’s Lawyers 

McAlister Family Law is home to one of the leading children’s law teams in the country. We are passionate about the rights of children and ensuring that their voice is heard. We represent parents, carers, step-parents, grandparents and even the children themselves. 

Many family law firms say that they are child experts, but few hold the Law Society’s Children Panel accreditation. This is an endorsement only provided to lawyers who satisfy the stringent tests in terms of knowledge and experience. McAlister Family Law has ten accredited specialists who dedicate themselves to acting in child-related cases. 

They are passionate about the cause and deliver life-changing results for children and families.
