Kirstine Hidalgo Souto

Deputy Head of Child Protection

About Kirstine Hidalgo Souto

I was educated at the University of Reading and the College of Law. I undertook my training in private practice at the largest legal aid firm in England gaining experience in Family Law, Child Care Law and Mental Health Law.

Upon qualification in 2011, I remained with the firm for a short period specialising in both Family and Child Care Law, before joining Invicta Law in 2015.

I enjoy undertaking my own advocacy when possible and have provided training to social workers on a variety of topics at both conferences and meetings.

Kirstine uses her years of expertise in Child Protection law to distil complex cases, providing support to clients.

Client testimonials

“I am writing in praise of your support. As someone in the firing line of an ultra-aggressive legal team for the first time in my life, this was a traumatic and, at times, upsetting process. You were at my side, dispensing wise and calming counsel throughout. You have been readily available when crises occurred, have been a wonderful listener and, in the end, we reached an outcome that was highly satisfactory for our school and its pupils. I cannot speak highly enough of the way that you handled this case, and I thank you and your firm for the support you gave me. Being a chair of governors, sworn to confidentiality, can be a lonely business! You kept me sane.”
Chair of School Governors
“You’ve been incredibly helpful with this. Thanks for always replying so promptly and for being a star.”

“The experience has been really top end. Rather than just offering the options, they have given some real solid advice on the best route. It's a good business 'partnering' approach.”
Kent Fire and Rescue Service
“Their employment advice has always proved to be sound. I’ve worked with lots of different lawyers in London boroughs and. I’d also say that Invicta Law is the most solution-focused.”
