Sophie Withers Profile


Sophia Withers, Solicitor
Sophia specialises in Mental Health Tribunal and Court of Protection work.

She was responsible for establishing Court of Protection as an area of work at Bishop and Light and has established an enviable reputation locally as a hard working Solicitor fighting for the rights of those unable to put their own case. Sophia is regularly instructed by the Official Solicitor.

Sophia is a member of the Law Society Mental Health Accreditation scheme and is a Peer Reviewer in Mental Health work on behalf of the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, carrying out peer reviews of other firms' work in this area of law.

In March 2020 Sophia was made a member of the Law Society Mental Capacity (Welfare) Accreditation Scheme.

She takes cases that may need resolving in the Court of Protection on both a private client and legal aid basis and continues to carry out Mental Health Tribunal Work.

Sophia relaxes with her family, running and paddle-boarding off the South coast.
We have offices in Brighton, Hove, Worthing, Eastbourne and Hastings.
