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.

Caroline was recommended by a friend. She was kind and kept us informed throughout the process of selling and buying a home. The paperwork was thorough and everything was explained well. I would definitely recommend.

George FaulknerGuy Morgan

Tagged solicitors George Faulkner and Guy Morgan

I cannot recommend Guy Morgan and George Faulkner highly enough for their surgical handling of my father’s property sale. When the buyer attempted a last minute ransom tactic to force a large price reduction at the eleventh hour, this team moved from standard conveyancing into elite litigation-grade defense. The property was sold at the price agreed at exchange and I have confidence that we have the best team on our side for any issues moving forwards.

Josephine BrittonRob Winder

Tagged solicitors Josephine Britton and Rob Winder

I contacted Cartmell Shepard for an issue with a neighbour dispute regarding property boundaries. I was initially concerned and nervous about the situation but after talking to Rob I felt reassured straight away about the case and what he was going to do. Rob was assertive and direct in his approach and as such the problem has been resolved. I am really thankful to the Rob and Josie for helping me to feel heard, understood and reassured. And helping to resolve to this issue. Thank you!
