Animal Law

At Mossensons, we provide legal advice and services on a broad range of animal issues. While each case is unique, our experience covers matters such as pet custody disputes, veterinary negligence claims, dangerous dog declarations, disputes with councils over animal keeping, breeder contract issues and other legal matters involving pets and animals.

Submit an enquiry and we will provide a fee for a case evaluation to discuss your animal law matter (dependent on complexity). During this initial consultation, we can provide you with information about potential costs based on your specific circumstances.

Legal representation can be valuable in animal-related disputes, particularly when they involve complex regulations, significant financial considerations or emotional matters like pet custody. Our experienced lawyers can help navigate these complexities and advocate for your interests and the welfare of the animals involved.

Our lawyers have specific experience in animal law matters and approach these cases with both legal expertise and compassion. We understand pets are important family members and animal-related legal issues can be emotionally challenging. Our team combines legal knowledge with a genuine concern for animals and their owners.

To make the most of your case evaluation, we recommend gathering any relevant documentation such as ownership papers, veterinary records, correspondence related to the dispute, photographic evidence, council notices, and any contracts or agreements. It’s also helpful to prepare a chronological summary of events and identify any witnesses who might support your case.

We offer both in-person consultations at our office and online consultations via Microsoft Teams, giving you the flexibility to choose what works best for you.
