How We Can Help
Education is a specialist area of law. Our Solicitors have the experience and knowledge to provide you with the advice and representation you need to appeal a local authority or school decision. The head of our Education Law team is one of our founding partners, Stuart Matthews. The Legal 500 says of him “Stuart Matthews has a razor-sharp intellect and superb client care skills. He is a ferociously hard worker and takes time to unpick a case.”
The Independent Appeals Panel, Admissions Authority, and even the local authority can use confusing legal language that can make you feel even more distressed and worried about how you can help your child. We will explain everything to you in plain English and provide practical legal advice and representation on which you can rely.
We understand that if your child has been excluded, is being bullied or harassed, cannot get into their preferred school, or is being discriminated against because of a disability, you will be feeling frightened for their future and perhaps angry at the stress the situation may be causing your child. Our Education Law Solicitors are sensitive and compassionate and will take the time to listen to what has happened between you and your child’s school/local authority. Our focus will always be on your child’s best interests and getting them the education to which they are entitled.
Our Education Law Solicitors can help you with a full range of matters, including but not limited to admission appeals, exclusion appeals, bullying, disability discrimination, school attendance orders, Judicial Reviews, and university disputes and sexual misconduct allegations. Regardless of how complicated your case is, we can provide the expertise and experience you need.
Our team regularly represents Russell Group University students accused of sexual misconduct in internal university investigative and disciplinary processes. We have successfully overturned expulsions by way of appeal to the Office of the Independent Adjudicator. Our team is committed to early, meticulous case preparation and evidence gathering, including instructing private detectives, securing CCTV evidence, and obtaining witness statements when required.
At Reeds Solicitors, we also have leading family, immigration, criminal and prison law departments. We can offer comprehensive advice packages to those detained under the Mental Health Act but have other legal matters.
It is essential that you are represented by a specialist solicitor, one who provides honest and sensible legal advice. All our mental health solicitors are accredited members of the Law Society’s Mental Health Accreditation Scheme (MHAS) and most importantly, all are approachable and experienced in dealing with difficult and complex cases.
