Senior Associate Solicitor
SRA ID: 486818
I joined the Family Team at Crane & Staples in May 2019. I became a Senior Associate Solicitor in April 2022 and Head of the Public Law Care team in September 2022.
I qualified as a solicitor in 2014, and since then I have specialised in Children Law and Domestic Abuse matters including:
Representing parents, grandparents and other family members in care proceedings in cases involving allegations of non-accidental injuries, sexual abuse, domestic abuse, drug and alcohol misuse, neglect, mental health concerns, and lack of capacity, amongst others.
Representing parents in contesting adoption applications.
Representing prospective adopters in contested adoption applications.
Representing parents in private law Children Act proceedings, including Child Arrangements Orders (previously contact and residence), Prohibited Steps Orders, Specific Issue Orders and Wardship.
Assisting victims of domestic abuse and representing them in obtaining a Non-Molestation Order to protect them.
I am passionate about providing vulnerable clients the best representation available. I work with local support services to ensure that this happens. I am a member of Resolution, which means I will try to resolve matters with an amicable approach wherever possible.

Sian Churchill
I first met Sian in 2019 when care proceedings were initiated and from our very first phone call I could tell that this wasn't just a job to her. Sian has fought for me legally but also personally. She is passionate and dedicated to helping people get the best possible outcomes that she can. Sian was honest caring and nothing but kind to me and really made an effort to understand how to communicate with me and adapted meetings in order to make sure I fully understood what was required of me and also understand all the legal terms. I would highly recommend Sian to anyone who found themselves needing support in the family courts. Everyone at crane and Staples were so helpful to me and kind. They always returned calls or responded to emails quickly and kept a professional high standard at all times.

Excellent, Outstanding, Top Notch Care!
Sian Churchill is the Best Family Law Solicitor I have ever had across two Counties! I've had 3 in total and I was third time VERY lucky indeed to have Sian representing me; she was highly recommended by a top London Barrister for her excellent, proactive and hands on support of services.
All of Sian's team are friendly, kind and on the ball; and they always give excellent advice. Sian has worked extremely my case, and more importantly she sincerely cares about the outcome. I am so grateful that I have her fighting my corner in Family Law Court. Sian has helped me so much on my personal statement for Court concerning fighting against my son's adoption order; she is concise, conscienctious and vigilant to every precise detail necessary in representing a parent in the best of lights. I am so grateful for her watchful and professional eye.
I would recommend Crane & Staple's Sian Churchill forever more for her immense support and help with the sensitivity of my case concerning opposing my child's adoption order. I'm Crane & Staple's number one fan; and Sian's the most for helping me. Thank you Sian for caring about me and my child; that's something the other Solicitors just didn't do. I'm so thankful to have you and your team behind me.
