We know that many families of children with additional needs face legal queries. Here are some details of organisations and services that may be able to help you.
SNAPS is proud to be supported by Irwin Mitchell and Fletchers. These legal firms have local offices in Leeds and are active members of SNAPS’ Business Heroes, supporting our mission to be there for children with additional needs and their families.
Both firms would be happy to chat to you about any legal concerns or queries you may have – their contact details can be found below. There are also many other solicitors locally who may be able to offer advice.
Irwin Mitchell has supported the valuable work of SNAPS and SNAPS families for over 10 years. Ross McWilliams and Victoria Harris are proud to be SNAPS trustees and regularly volunteer to deliver boccia to the children at Broomfield and Pennyfield.
We’re proud to be a longstanding supporter, and we’re here to provide legal and financial support to help you and your family. Through our legal work, we understand that if your child lives with a disability or has suffered from a serious injury or illness, the emotional and physical impact can be life changing. We can help you access the best medical care, rehabilitation, and support.
Our expert legal and financial teams can offer guidance and advice on a wide range of areas including medical negligence, education and health care plans, deputyships and trusts, family law, welfare benefits, and future planning including financial assessments.
Fletchers is one of the UK’s most trusted and respected law firms. We specialise in serious personal injury and medical negligence claims and have been supporting those with life-changing injuries for more than 30 years.
Our clients come to us during what is often the most difficult period of their lives; and we’re privileged to have their trust and be able to guide them through the journey. We have secured millions of pounds in compensation every year for our clients, and handle incredibly complex cases involving spinal cord injuries, amputation and traumatic brain injuries.
Our mission is to help rebuild the lives of individuals who have suffered serious, life changing injuries and for them to have the very best possible life after injury. We do this, not only through the case work we undertake for injured clients, but also through supporting charities, causes and organisations that share the same mission.
