- Reporting an Attorney or Deputy
If you find yourself needing to report an Attorney or Deputy, or are facing legal action in this position yourself, our expert team are here to help you achieve the right resolution.
An Attorney or Deputy’s job is to act in the best interests of someone who no longer has the capacity to make their own decisions. However, if you believe the choices made are not acting in someone’s best interests, they are failing to fulfil their duties properly, or the Joint Attorneys in place are unable to work together, we are here for you.
Our specialist Court of Protection solicitors in Essex work with you to understand your concerns, gather necessary evidence, and raise a report for the Office of the Public Guardian to investigate further. Whatever it takes, we are by your side to identify and prevent any abuse of power carried out by an Attorney or Deputy.
Alternatively if you’re an Attorney or Deputy facing a claim yourself, our experts at Giles Wilson also understand the intricacies of these disputes. We offer pragmatic, constructive advice to work through these matters with unwavering attention to detail, so that your position is protected against any unwarranted report.
Whether you want to bring safeguarding issues to the attention of legal authorities, or need guidance to defend against claims like abuse of power, we have decades of experience in the Court of Protection and can manage your legal proceedings from start to finish.
Through a thorough understanding of your specific situation, careful analysis of relevant information, and our first-hand experience, we possess the knowledge and expertise necessary to lead you towards a just, positive resolution.
Avoid the headache of handling Attorney or Deputy reports yourself. Trust our experienced, compassionate team to find the right path forward for you.

The Giles Wilson Moot As a leading local law firm, we seek to encourage and nurture legal potential in the region from a young age. Therefore, we are delighted to announce that Giles Wilson will be holding a Mooting competition this year. What is the Giles Wilson Moot? The Giles Wilson Moot is a competition structured as a series of mock legal hearings, leading to a grand final. Students are invited to act as legal counsel, preparing and delivering compelling arguments based on various legal scenarios to a panel of esteemed solicitors, barristers and judges. Additionally, each team of students must respond to a series of questions posed to them by the panel and be prepared to think on their feet. A unique opportunity for an insight into legal practice Recognised by the Law Society, our Moot offers a rare opportunity for local students to experience the law in practice; something that is not commonly found outside of university level study. We are very proud of the fact that is it the only competition of its kind in the Southeast. We believe that our Moot enables the participants to develop key skills that will set them in good stead for any future career, such as; confidence in public speaking, critical thinking and analytical ability. The winners will receive prizes, including the prestigious Giles Wilson Moot cup, work experience with Giles Wilson and barristers’ chambers. Getting involved We have contacted schools within a 5-mile radius of our head office in Leigh-on-Sea to be involved. The schools that participate will have the opportunity to attend ‘Moot evenings’ whereby students will receive further information on the competition, be able to ask questions and network with legal professionals within Giles Wilson. The Moot competition itself will start with the quarterfinals, taking place in October 2024, with semi-finals planned for November, and the final in December. The Moot competition is part of our calendar of events for 2024 and will be in support of our 2024 chosen charities. Therefore, anyone is welcome to come along to watch the Moot rounds and support the students and charities if they wish to. If you require any further information, please send an email to: [email protected], with the subject “Giles Wilson Moot 2024”.
When communicating with someone new, it is always a good idea to make sure you are using inclusive language. Terms such as they/them to avoid an incorrect assumption being made. Pronouns are not a suggestion; they are fundamental and vital to someone’s identity and should be respected.
