Guiding you through legal matters

The death of someone close is always a painful experience. In addition to coping with their grief, people often find themselves trying to work through the practical and financial consequences of the bereavement. Sometimes, there is the added complexity of wondering whether the death of their loved one could have been avoided and dealing with an inquest or civil legal process, which can be confusing and overwhelming.

The Children’s Grief Charity has joined forces with Irwin Mitchell to provide you with free, legal expertise as well as a dedicated Support and Rehabilitation co-ordinator who will make sure you receive the right psychological and financial support. The firm also has an Asset Management team of financial experts who can offer support with managing and investing compensation. This can be useful when someone receives compensation at a young age, to help make sure it’s there when they need it.

Irwin Mitchell is a full-service, national law firm, specialising in medical negligence claims, serious injury claims, family, property, wills and estates and benefits advice.

“I’m delighted we’re joining forces with The Children’s Grief Charity as an official legal partner. I’m looking forward to working together to advise and support bereaved young people and their families.”
Kim Andrews, Associate, Medical Negligence, Irwin Mitchell
