TV Edwards Solicitors LLP

Associate Solicitor

Shaun qualified in 2013, and joined TV Edwards in October 2020. He is a qualified Legal Aid supervisor in the field of community care.

He was named as an “Associate to Watch” in Chambers and Partners UK 2025 in his specialist fields of Administrative and Public Law and Court of Protection. He is described in the Legal 500 as “a very bright lawyer practising in Court of Protection welfare work who is clearly knowledgeable of both legal principles and practical matters” and as having “an exceptional mind and sharp acuity that is extremely reassuring”.

Shaun acts in complex Court of Protection welfare cases, and is regularly instructed by the Official Solicitor, as well as by professional advocates. Shaun has been appointed as an Accredited Legal Representative by the Law Society, a qualification which allows him to act for incapacitous clients directly in the Court of Protection without a litigation friend.

Within his public law work, Shaun represents clients with a wide variety of Community Care needs, including under the Care Act 2014, Children Act 1989 and Mental Health Act 1983. As part of his caseload, Shaun represents children in need and care leavers who require a range of support and disabled adults whose needs have not been met by the public bodies obliged to do so. He takes a particular interest in acting for care leavers who are often left without the necessary support to allow for a successful transition to adulthood, and cases which may require recourse in both the Court of Protection and Administrative Court; his experience in both courts makes him well suited to advise in such matters.

Shaun has successfully challenged local authorities who have failed to provide for the welfare needs of vulnerable migrant families and individuals who are restricted from accessing mainstream public funds.
