Stephen Cardinall

I am a solicitor in the public law department in Birmingham and joined the firm in 2012 from a leading family law firm in Birmingham.

I specialise in health and welfare cases in the Court of Protection and a broad range of judicial review cases including including challenges to the provision of community care and healthcare. I am regularly instructed by individuals challenging cuts to public services.

I regularly act for vulnerable adults who lack mental capacity in the Court of Protection instructed by the Official Solicitor. I also act in medical treatment cases.

I represented the family in the case of NHS Trust and Baby X and others [2012] EWHC 2188

At my previous firm I also acted for local authorities, family members and guardians in public law children proceedings. I am an experienced advocate.
