At Cooper & Co, we are specialists in criminal and civil cases involving dogs throughout the whole of England & Wales.

The principal of Cooper & Co, well known Solicitor Trevor Cooper, represented his first dog owning client c.29 years ago – so we like to think we have a considerable ‘pedigree’!!!
