What does mental health law involve?

  • Involuntary detention and compulsion: Addressing the legal framework under the Mental Health Act, including safeguards and criteria for detaining individuals who may pose a risk to themselves or others.
  • Consent to treatment: Ensuring that patients understand their rights regarding medical treatment, including issues of informed consent and decision-making capacity.
  • Patient rights and safeguards: Protecting the rights of mental health patients, including access to advocacy, independent reviews, and avenues for challenging detention or treatment orders.
  • Access to appropriate care: Ensuring that mental health services meet statutory standards and that any limitations or discriminatory practices are challenged.
  • Legal challenges and appeals: Managing disputes related to detention, treatment decisions, and the application of the Mental Health Act through judicial review or appeals processes.

How can a solicitor help with mental health law matters, and what does it cost?

  • Provide expert legal advice: Explaining your rights under the Mental Health Act and other relevant legislation, and advising on the best strategy to challenge or comply with treatment decisions.
  • Represent you in court: Advocating on your behalf in judicial reviews, appeals, or negotiations with healthcare providers when disputes arise over detention or treatment.
  • Gather and review evidence: Collecting medical records, expert opinions, and other documentation to build a robust case for challenging or defending against mental health decisions.
  • Negotiate settlements: Working with healthcare institutions and regulators to resolve disputes through negotiation or mediation, potentially avoiding lengthy litigation.
  • Advise on fee arrangements: Offering transparent fee structures, including hourly rates, fixed fees, or no win, no fee options depending on your case’s complexity.

Costs vary based on the complexity of your matter and the solicitor’s expertise. Hourly rates typically range from £150 to £400, while many firms offer fixed-fee packages for standard applications or consultations. An initial consultation—often free or available at a reduced rate—will help you understand your legal position, explore your options, and estimate the likely costs involved.
