Specialist Education Law Solicitor
as an SRA Regulated education solicitor in the UK.
Dedicated to empowering families, providing trusted legal advice, and ensuring the best outcomes for your child
Your child has a legal right to the support they need — but local authorities don't always make it easy. From EHCP battles to tribunal appeals, I cut through the bureaucracy and fight to get your child what they're entitled to. No jargon. No delays. Just results.
Your child is being failed — and you know it. Whether a school is refusing reasonable adjustments or a local authority is ignoring its duties under the Equality Act, I hold them accountable. Because discrimination dressed up as policy is still discrimination.
When a child's school attendance becomes a legal matter, the stakes are high and the process can feel overwhelming. I advise and support families facing Education Supervision Orders, School Attendance Orders, or prosecution by the local authority — ensuring your rights are protected and that any underlying SEND needs are properly considered before enforcement action is taken.
Local authorities make consequential decisions about children's education and care every day — and they don't always get it right. I help families challenge those decisions with confidence, backed by thorough legal knowledge and a track record of getting results.
The annual review came and went — and nothing changed. If your child's EHCP no longer reflects their needs, or the local authority is dragging its feet on updating provision, that's not just frustrating, it's unlawful. I push for the amendments your child needs, now.
ADHD. Autism. Dyslexia. PDA. Your child's brain works differently — and the system wasn't built with them in mind. I specialise in securing the right legal framework around neurodivergent children so they can finally access education in a way that actually works for them.
Your child has been excluded and you've been told there's nothing you can do. There is. Exclusions are frequently unlawful, disproportionate, or used as a shortcut where SEND support should have been in place. I challenge them — and I win.
Most families don't realise that the legal protections for young people with SEND extend well beyond school — up to the age of 25. Whether it's a college refusing to implement an EHCP, a university failing to make reasonable adjustments, or a local authority unlawfully ceasing provision, I fight to ensure young people are not abandoned by a system that still has a legal duty to support them. I act exclusively for students, young people, and their families — never institutions.
Independent schools operate under different rules — but they are not above the law. If your child has been unlawfully excluded, discriminated against on the basis of disability, or the school has failed to deliver on agreed SEND provision, you have legal recourse. I act solely for parents, children, and young people — never schools — ensuring families have the expertise and firepower to hold even the most prestigious institutions to account.
This is a defined term in the Legal Services Act 2007 and means: the exercise if a right of audience; the conduct of litigation; reserved instrument activities (relating to the transfer of land); probate activities; notarial activities; the administration of oaths. These are mainstream legal activities which the law has determined must be provided as regulated services. Legal services bodies that want to provide reserved legal activities must be authorised to do so by an approved regulator
