Ranjit represents children and their parents in private law matters and is frequently instructed on a public access basis. His private law work includes cases of all levels of complexity, including cases necessitating expert evidence and contested final hearings. Recent cases have included matters involving parental alienation and intractable contact disputes. Ranjit recently represented a father in an intractable contact dispute, with the eventual final order being one of shared care.
Ranjit represents children, parents and local authorities within care proceedings and is also often instructed on behalf of interveners, grandparents and special guardians. His recent work increasingly involves allegations of non-accidental injury and multi-week finding of fact hearings.
