We are delighted to share that Kash Mahmood, a solicitor in our Wirral family law team, has been admitted as a Member of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem — better known as the Order of St John.
The appointment was sanctioned by His Majesty The King on 21 April 2026, and was published in The London Gazette on 6 May 2026. Kash is now entitled to use the post-nominal letters MStJ.
About the Order of St John
The Order of St John is a royal order of chivalry, best known to the public through the work of St John Ambulance and the St John Eye Hospital Group in Jerusalem. Admission to the Order is a formal recognition of significant voluntary service to the welfare of others.
Kash has been a senior member of St John Ambulance for many years, giving his time alongside his legal career to support first aid, training, and community welfare. His appointment is a fitting acknowledgement of that long-standing commitment to public service.
Kash’s Work in Wirral Family Law
Kash has been a qualified solicitor for more than 25 years and is a key member of our family law department on the Wirral. He is a Member of the Law Society’s Children Panel — a national accreditation awarded only to solicitors who demonstrate a recognised level of expertise in child law and child welfare matters.
Based at our Wallasey office, Kash specialises in child care law and provides advice and representation to parents, carers, and families across the Wirral and Merseyside in matters including:
- Care and supervision proceedings brought by local authorities
- Child protection matters and dealings with children’s services
- Child arrangement orders following separation or divorce
- Specific issue and prohibited steps orders
- Adoption and other Children Act applications
How Kash Can Help Families on the Wirral
Family law matters rarely arrive at a convenient moment. Whether you have been contacted by social services, are worried about contact with your children following a separation, or need urgent advice in a child protection matter, Kash provides clear, practical advice and steady representation from the very first conversation.
His combination of long experience, Children Panel accreditation, and a genuinely compassionate approach makes him a trusted choice for Wirral families facing some of the most difficult moments in their lives.
Our wider family law team at Burd Ward is led by Jenna Ellison, who is also a Children Panel member. Together, the department covers the full breadth of family law on the Wirral, from divorce and financial settlements through to children’s matters and protection from domestic abuse.
