Zena Bolwig

Information about the specialist

Practice Areas

Zena specialises in health and welfare mental capacity and best interests law, particularly cases in the Court of Protection, and in broader community care law.

She advises and advocates on behalf of clients in complex cases, which frequently involve novel issues including cross-border disputes, serious medical treatment, complex deprivation of liberty disputes, and capacity to consent to sexual relations, to marry and to have contact. She also acts in contentious property and affairs cases including disputes involving lasting powers of attorney and the appointment of deputies.

The large majority of Zena’s cases have resulted in vulnerable clients returning to their homes, or to less restrictive care settings, or in regaining contact with loved ones, in line with their or their families’ wishes.
