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.

Mr. Badhan and his conveyancing team did a tremendous job helping me sell my mother’s house when she was obliged to go into a care home. I will forever be grateful for their help and advice.

Hayley Caprani-Warner

Tagged solicitor Hayley Caprani-Warner

Hayley took over my case from a previous solicitors firm. It was not a straight forward house sale as my ex partner kept moving the goal posts. Hayley handled my case perfectly. I was kept informed of any correspondence from the other party. It was reassuring to have Hayley handle my case to its positive conclusion. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
