Jayne Harrill practices in all areas of family law relating to children and in particular specialises in public law proceedings.

She regularly acts for parents, children and local authorities and has experience in all aspects of care proceedings including neglect, non accidental injury, sexual abuse and fictitious illness syndrome.

Jayne has considerable experience of representing vulnerable adults. Her experience of human rights law as it applies to consent to medical treatment has lead to an interest in the new Court of Protection work.

She is currently involved in one of the first welfare cases to be heard by the Court of Protection which involves abuse of a vulnerable adult and issues in relation to appropriate medical treatment. Jayne is keen to develop this area of expertise and willing to provide advice on this new area of law.
