A bit more about Harriet Hansen

I am a solicitor in the Court of Protection department. I am also an Accredited Legal Representative (ALR), this role allows me to represent clients in the Court of Protection without a litigation friend.

I joined Peter Edwards Law in October 2019 as a legal assistant, progressing to become a paralegal and then trainee solicitor. I completed my LPC and Masters alongside my role achieving a distinction in 2021. I completed my training contract in 2023 and have since continued to work as a solicitor in the Court of Protection department.

My team handles complex cases in the Court of Protection, I represent clients in s21a challenges and welfare matters. We work with some of the most vulnerable people in society and their families. We seek to achieve the best outcome for these people and strive to ensure their voices are heard.

I’m incredibly proud to have been awarded the Liverpool Law Society Rising Star Award 2023.
