Law firms ranked by client reviews

This area covers concerns about a child’s schooling, including how a school handles issues with teaching, discipline, special educational needs, admissions decisions, and complaints about school staff or policies.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

The solicitor handles the letters of complaint, compiles evidence (test results, email correspondence, safeguarding notes), and liaises with school governors, the local authority, and where relevant, the Office of the Children’s Commissioner or Ofsted. They assist with escalation to formal investigations, safeguarding processes, or independent reviews, and may prepare for outcomes such as remediation plans or academic adjustments.

Janata Ali is an expert in n her field which resulted in us winning our case against the local authority to issue an EHCP for our son. Our son will hopefully now thrive and we will be forever grateful for her help and support with our case.

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.

Theresa Kerr

Tagged solicitor Theresa Kerr

From the very start of my communication with Theresa, she was beyond supportive and truly helped me every step of the way. Her legal knowledge was fantastic, and the communication was clear. Logistically there were may aspects to deal with in this case, and not only was Theresa extremely prompt and clear in her support, she also went above and beyond to ensure that I personally felt supported as a school leader. Theresa's support meant that I did not feel alone in this incident, and also that we could manage it and rectify it quickly together. Which we did. I felt so grateful to Theresa throughout the correspondence. She is an asset to your firm.
