Choosing the right Solicitor when your dog is at risk can make all the difference.  Cooper & Co Solicitors was founded by award-winning specialist Solicitor Trevor Cooper and we focus on providing legal advice on dog law (or Doglaw as we like to call it) across England & Wales.

We wouldn’t claim to be the best – that would be far too bold!  But we’re confident that our experience places us amongst the most established and experienced firms practising in this niche area of law.

Our experience in Dog law

• Founded in 1997, we are one of the longest-established firms in England & Wales with a dedicated focus on Doglaw
• Since the beginning of 2021 we have advised in around 4,000 dog-related cases, covering a wide range of legal issues
• We are widely regarded as one of the first firms to concentrate exclusively on the law relating to dogs, an area that has since grown significantly
• Our practise has evolved to include advice on cats and the law, housing law, consumer law and wills and LPAs, while maintaining our specialist expertise in Doglaw
• We regularly act for individual dog owners, rescues and professionals working with dogs
• Our work spans both civil and criminal matters, including:-
  • Dog custody disputes (dog ownership disputes)
  • Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 cases including dog bite allegations, banned breed types and dog seizures
  • Dog barking allegations
  • Disputes between buyers and sellers
• We provide advice and representation nationwide, covering the whole of England & Wales

Above all, we understand that for our clients a dog is never ‘just a dog’. The emotional, practical and legal consequences of a legal case involving a dog can be serious and we treat every case with that importance in mind.
