Professional Journey & Expertise

Bhoopen is a highly experienced solicitor with a profound commitment to his clients. His legal career began in 2016, where he quickly progressed from a paralegal to a solicitor, establishing a strong foundation in Mental Health Law. In this capacity, he has consistently advised, assisted, and represented clients detained under the Mental Health Act 1983 (as amended), advocating tirelessly on their behalf.

As a solicitor, Bhoopen takes on the crucial responsibility of meeting with clients, meticulously reviewing their medical records and reports to obtain comprehensive instructions. This thorough preparation ensures effective representation at First-Tier Tribunal (Mental Health) hearings. He further deepens his understanding of each client's unique circumstances by attending Care Program Approach and s117 meetings, proactively addressing aftercare and treatment issues. Bhoopen firmly believes that exceptional written and analytical skills are not merely academic achievements, but essential building blocks of critical thinking and deductive reasoning, enabling him to provide an unparalleled service to every client.

 

Background in Healthcare

Prior to entering the legal profession, Bhoopen gained invaluable practical insight into the NHS's Mental Health Care System. His experience as a Health Care Assistant in a psychiatric setting for the South Essex Partnership Trust ("SEPT") provided him with a first-hand understanding of the complexities and nuances of mental healthcare, which profoundly informs his empathetic approach today.

 

Family and Child Care Law

Expanding his expertise, Bhoopen has also cultivated a significant practice in Family and Child Care law. He provides expert advice on sensitive matters including divorce, injunctions, and private and public children matters. Bhoopen possesses a deep understanding of the vicissitudes of the human condition and the intricate dynamics involved when children are at the heart of legal proceedings. He is known for his ability to truly listen to his clients' needs, delivering compassionate and tailored advice that addresses their specific concerns.

 

Interests & Personal Pursuits

Beyond his legal practice, Bhoopen is a passionate advocate for the power of words, having authored five books. He finds great enjoyment in the writing process itself, embracing it as a vital creative outlet. His intellectual curiosity extends to a key interest in philosophy, particularly the profound works of Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus, and Epicurus. He also holds a deep appreciation for early Renaissance artworks, with a special fondness for the paintings and frescos by Sandro Botticelli. In his leisure time, Bhoopen enjoys hunting, playing chess, basketball, volleyball, and attending the Ballet.
