Welcome to our Special Educational Needs and Additional Learning Needs Services.
Our dedicated Education Law solicitors provide legal support to parents and caregivers of children and young people with SEN/ALN.
We understand the unique approach it takes to unlock the potential of children with SEN/ALN. Many children and young people are left without the support they are entitled to throughout their educational journey. Imagine the difference it could make if your child had access to the right resources and education. With the right legal advice, we can help ensure they get the support they deserve.
Our experience in all aspects of Education Law puts us in a strong position to offer practical and informed advice on any challenges you face. We represent parents and children throughout England and Wales. We do not act for Local Authorities. If your child has special educational needs, it is vital that they receive the support and provision they need for their education. Getting legal advice can often make the difference.
