The Court of Protection team at St John’s Buildings is well-versed in advising on a broad range of complex health and welfare cases, including deprivation of liberty issues and mental capacity matters. Natalia Levine is singled out for her excellent track record in advising on property and financial disputes, and regularly acts for local authorities, family members, the Official Solicitor and hospitals. Practice head Joseph O’Brien KC stands out for his established strength in handling deprivation of liberty cases, which also form a key pillar of Jonathan Bellamy’s practice. Hannah Bakshani specialises in Court of Protection law, and ‘her advice is always well-grounded, reasoned and she demonstrates a real ability to think on her feet’; she is sought after for her expertise in advising on contested capacity issues. The ‘calm and measured’ Tom Hughes brings extensive experience in advising on cases involving covert medication, fluctuating capacity and capacity to engage in sexual activity.
