Qualia Law CIC

Qualia Law CIC is a non-profit social enterprise providing free legal advice, training and financial safeguarding for the social care and third sector, specifically those who support neurodiverse people (such as those living with dementia, brain injury or learning disabilities).

Qualia Law CIC provide:

1. Free legal advice and support for neurodiverse people, their carers and families

2. Free training sessions for the social care and third sectors, on topics such as: mental capacity, financial safeguarding and the Court of Protection.

3. Financial safeguarding support: in the form of Court of Protection Deputyship or Professional Attorneyship or Lasting Power of Attorney

Our specialist, person-centred Court of Protection (COP) Deputy service is underpinned by our core values of empathy, integrity and transparency.

Typically, Professional Deputyships are dealt with by solicitors working in a private-sector law firm. As a nonprofit social enterprise, we deal with Deputyship differently. For us, the absolute priority is the best interests of the protected party (often referred to as ‘P’' in Court of Protection cases). By removing the profit-motive, we can focus entirely on achieving the best outcomes for our clients. Our motivations and core values are instead based upon the delivery of an exceptional, bespoke, empathetic service.

Every one of our Deputyships is dealt with by a specialist, expert solicitor. We believe we are the only nonprofit organisation in the UK providing this level of expertise.

We recognise that every client is an individual, with their own particular wishes, feelings, challenges and needs. Consequently, we adapt our services to suit the particular needs of our clients in order to maximise their independence, safeguard their finances, and allow them to enjoy their lives to the full.

Qualia Law is a certified member of AdviceUK and our advice is impartial, independent, and provided by specialist Solicitors. We are funded by the national lottery, UnLtd the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF).
