Expert pre-litigation advice for civil disputes
What We Do
Fullbrook Law provides expert legal advice across a range of civil disputes. Whether you are an individual, a business, or a local authority we offer clear, strategic guidance to resolve disputes before court proceedings become necessary.
Members of the public can instruct Fullbrook Law for legal advice, strategy, and pre-litigation services, but Fullbrook Law does not conduct litigation or represent clients in court proceedings. Zak conducts court advocacy and litigation exclusively on a contract or locum basis through SRA-authorised firms and public entities. These reserved legal activities are not services offered by Fullbrook Law to the public.
Challenging Care Fees
Think the local authority have got your financial assessment wrong? We can help you challenge it.
Financial Assessment Challenges
We review and challenge inaccurate or unfair financial assessments used to determine your contribution to care costs, including disputes over income calculations, capital thresholds, and the application of local authority policies.
Deprivation of Assets
If the local authority alleges you have deliberately disposed of capital to reduce your care contribution, we advise on the regulations governing these claims and help you challenge unreasonable decisions.
Deferred Payment Agreements
We advise on Deferred Payment Agreements under the Care Act 2014, including disputes over eligibility, property valuations, interest charges, and the terms imposed by local authorities.
Trust and Estate Issues
Where care funding involves a family trust, we advise on how trust assets should be treated in a financial assessment and whether the local authority's approach is lawful.
