Top 10 of 1,793 law firms for Schools, Dispute Resolution

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers disputes connected with state and academy schools in England, including issues such as school admissions, exclusions, special educational needs provision, and governance or academy closures. A solicitor in this field drafts and challenges school policies, prepares and prosecutes or resists appeals to the appeals processes, and represents clients in education tribunals and related proceedings. The work is shaped by national education legislation, policy guidance, and the duties of local authorities and schools toward pupils and families.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

Solicitors handle admissions appeals, exclusions challenges, and SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) matters, including SEND appeals to the First-tier Tribunal (Special Educational Needs and Disability). They draft representations to authorities, prepare court- or tribunal-ready bundles, negotiate with schools or local authorities, and advise on governance issues in academy or maintained school settings. The process involves navigating statutory duties, court and tribunal procedures, and the interplay between education policy and individual rights.

Mohammed dealt with the sale of my house. Very professional yet friendly and approachable. He kept me informed at all stages of the process and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and Scullion Law.

Sarah Workman

Tagged solicitor Sarah Workman

We recently used Thomas Flavell and Sons for our house move. Our assigned solicitor was Sarah Workman but had contact with lots of others in the company too. Our experience was overwhelmingly positive and although our move took longer than we would have liked this was as a result of factors beyond our control and that of our solicitors. Sarah and the team were prompt to reply to queries and chased for answers where they could in an effort to get us moving quicker. In the end, things seemed to all happen all of a sudden and once again Sarah and her team went above what we would have expected to ensure everything was done on time and all of the paperwork was accurate and correct. We cannot recommend Thomas Flavell and Sons highly enough. We are very satisfied customers.

Thanks so much to Barbara Stewart for handling the conveyancing in the sale of my late parents' home. She did an absolutely sterling job, teaching the buyer's solicitors a lesson in the law. If it was not for Barbara this matter might have dragged on for ever. We are very grateful indeed.
