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.

The team at Clarkes Wellington made the process straightforward to understand and execute a plan to resolve as best as they could, the dispute that should never have got to the point it did. The experience and professionalism of the team shone through and we are now at resolution. I wish to pass on my sincere thanks for their assistance in this matter.

Kirsty Andrew

Tagged solicitor Kirsty Andrew

From the moment we were introduced until our business was completed, the service we received was exceptional. Phone calls were answered or returned the same day, genuinely friendly, helpful and understanding. Nothing was too much trouble and any issues arising from other parties were expertly handled. We had complete confidence in Kirsty and would highly recommend her. The administrative staff were also extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly.

Tagged solicitors Jumaal Ahmed and Rachel Chambers

I unfortunately found myself in a very stressful consumer dispute, I luckily found Spires Legal Ltd while searching for a litigation solicitor that dealt with consumer dispute’s. I’m so glad I did, from the very first phone call explaining my situation to Rachel to Jumaal managing to get me a full refund without having to go to court, they have been nothing but exemplary, I would highly recommend the team to anyone needing a litigation solicitor and would definitely use them again in the future if the need arises.

My overall experience with Moss was excellent! Sanita kept me updated throughout and always responded promptly, even if it was just to acknowledge my message. She also pushed our case through very quickly, as we had some tight deadlines to meet.
