Giving you strength, making sure your voice is heard.
We are a specialist law firm providing expert legal advice and representation in Mental Health Law and Court of Protection Law.
Who we are.
We are based in Taunton, Somerset, so most of our work is undertaken in the South West region, but our reputation means that we are instructed to represent clients nationwide.
We are hiring!
We are committed to excellence in our work. We therefore do our best to ensure that every client feels that they have had the best possible service.
We are thrilled to have received recognition in the Devon and Somerset Law Society Awards, receiving Highly Commended in the category of Law Firm of the Year. We had a great night celebrating in Exeter with all other firms nominated for awards.
We are very proud to announce that Eleanor Bulmer is a finalist in the Legal Aid Lawyer of the Year Awards. Eleanor is a finalist in the social welfare category and is amongst some exceptionally talented lawyers. We are lookingforward to an evening celebrating at the awards ceremony.
Our legal services.
We provide specialist representation and legal advice in Mental Health Law, Court of Protection, Judicial Review, Care Planning & Advice, Inquests and Social Care Law. Find out more below.
We have enormous experience of representing patients at Mental Health Tribunals. We are specialists, however, in all aspects of Mental Health Law.
We advise on how the Mental Capacity Act 2005 should be applied, and we provide representation in Court of Protection proceedings.
Whatever the decision, whatever the public body, whenever there is a question of Mental Health Law involved, we can provide you with the expert legal advice you need.
Lasting Power of Attorney, Deputyships, Advance Decisions and Challenging Funding Decisions are all services we can provide for you.
Attending an Inquest can be a difficult process. We have a team dedicated to representing family members and interested parties throughout the process.
With our many years of combined experience across the health and social care sector, we can help you get the support you need for you and your family.
What we offer.
We are a progressive firm with a fresh approach to legal practice, aiming for a friendly relationship with all our clients, whilst recognising the need to work to the highest professional standards on their behalf at all times.
As well as providing legal advice and representation on individual cases, we provide an extensive range of competitively-priced training courses on the law itself.
The vast majority of the work we do is for clients who are eligible for Legal Aid. As part of our initial advice in any case, we will therefore assess your eligibility for funding from the Legal Aid Agency.

Dear Angela,Thank you for all your hard work. It has made such a difference more than you will ever realise. It is so good to think that you and your team are doing what you do to help people like me. I am so grateful.

I have learnt an immense amount being a significant role alongside each solicitor I have worked with, to ensure where needed, things are challenged and aimed for the best possible outcome for the client.
Each solicitor has always, worked swiftly and effectively. If I was ever in a personal situation where I needed legal representation, I would choose Butler & Co!

I greatly appreciate all the care and diligence shown by Mr Tilbury under difficult circumstances about tribunals etc.
Hopefully I will not need his services again now that I am settling into a new independent home after a long time without one.
Thanks again!

I would like to express my thanks for all your hard work on my behalf at a time where I was on reflection, extremely unwell.
It is reassuring to know that the legal profession is there to support individuals when needed.
