Top 10 of 418 law firms for School and Education Services, Education

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers how schools and other education providers operate, and the rights and duties of students and families within the English system. A solicitor in this field handles admissions and transfers, exclusions, special educational needs (SEN) arrangements, safeguarding and child welfare, and appeals or disputes with local authorities, schools, or academies. They draft and review policies, represent clients at panels and tribunals, and advise on funding, transport, and placement decisions that affect a child’s education.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The stakes are high because education decisions shape a child’s future. A solicitor protects your position by guiding you through deadlines, statutory processes, and appeals, and by engaging with schools, local authorities, and tribunals such as the First-tier Tribunal (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). They ensure compliance with the Education Act 1996, the Children Act, and related regulations, with emphasis on timely, correct procedure and safeguarding obligations.

We contacted Richard Nelson LLP for advice and potential dispute between our selves and the school that or Grandson goes to. After giving them a brief of the problem over the phone Louise called us back with the and ran through in detail the issues we were having. she then guided us through the process of explaining our rights and also those of the school so that we had a full and rounded picture of likely outcomes. Louise then made contact on our behalf with the school and ensured we had all information we need to ensure we had a positive outcome. We would certainly use Louise and the team at Richard Nelson LLP again and highly recommend them .

Put simply, we couldn't have done it without Alex. She kept proceedings on track and applied consistent pressure to the Local Authority, consulting us at each step and giving a considered view of our best approach. She shared great knowledge of schools we could consider and worked seamlessly with our expert witnesses to build a firm case. And ultimately, brought us to a brilliant resolution for our son with a place at the school we identified as best placed to meet his needs.
