Evaluation

From the very start of my communication with Theresa, she was beyond supportive and truly helped me every step of the way. Her legal knowledge was fantastic, and the communication was clear. Logistically there were may aspects to deal with in this case, and not only was Theresa extremely prompt and clear in her support, she also went above and beyond to ensure that I personally felt supported as a school leader. Theresa's support meant that I did not feel alone in this incident, and also that we could manage it and rectify it quickly together. Which we did. I felt so grateful to Theresa throughout the correspondence. She is an asset to your firm.

Outstanding SEN and EHCP Advisory Support

We are a tier-one MAT with a focus on inclusion and schools across country. Having worked with a large proportion of firms advising on complex/high-risk EHCP consultation response, we became aware of Winckworth Sherwood through their training webinars, which we viewed as the best available. We then contacted WS with an urgent matter and received outstanding support and advice on a 48 hour turnaround, and which has led us to substantially rethink and revise our approach in a key area of education law. We look forward to continuing to work with Winckworth Sherwood.
