School Legal Services is an education consultancy and legal practice that specialises solely in providing legal advice and guidance to parents, schools and local education authorities on a range of education issues such as Special Educational Needs, school exclusions, Discrimination in the educational context and various education related topics.
We have a number of highly experienced solicitors, advocates and legal advisers who can assist you in any education matter where legal advice and possible representation is required.
Our aim is to provide professional but affordable advice with a high level of customer care and client friendly practices that you will not find in the usual 9 to 5 solicitors practice.
So why ask us to help ?
We offer a client service and advice provision that suits you and not us as you are the client! So why does that mean we are different from other providers?
We offer:
- Free initial 20 minute telephone consultation to discuss any case with no obligation after that.
- Out of hours email and telephone support to all clients, 8am to 9pm Mon to Fri plus 9 am to 1pm on Saturdays – we are not a 9 to 5 outfit and we fit in with you and your work and family commitments.
- Fixed prices for SEN or Exclusion cases to ensure you have certainty of costs.
- Prices and hourly rates that are the most competitive in the field to ensure that we help as many parents as possible.
School Legal Services is the sister company of School Appeals Services, now the largest provider of legal advice to parents on admission issues in England and Wales (www.schoolappeals.com).
School Legal Services is a member of the Education Law Association.
