Specialist in working with vulnerable and older people

In addition to expert legal knowledge, our members undertake a rigorous external accreditation proving their understanding of the key issues that can affect vulnerable and older people. This includes things like dementia, Parkinson’s and other degenerative diseases, as well as problems with hearing, sight, and mobility.

Lifetime Lawyers also receive specialist training when it comes to the care they provide. They offer extra empathy and attention, including understanding the signs of neglect and abuse and knowing how to spot them. Lifetime Lawyers consider things like when and where they speak to clients, ensuring they’re able to provide people the tailored support they need that aligns with their individual circumstances.

When is somebody vulnerable?

People can be vulnerable for a range of reasons and for a short or long period of time. It could be because we’re living with a disability, grieving a loved one, struggling with our physical or mental health, feeling lonely, or perhaps we might feel more vulnerable as we get older.

It’s often those times in life when we’re most vulnerable, that we need to seek legal advice.
