Experienced Education Law Solicitor (4385)

We're a national law firm with a local reach. Our philosophy is 'Expert Hand, Human Touch' – something you'll find in the way we work with our clients and how we support our teams. But we're more than just a law firm – we're a team of people working together to help individuals and businesses navigate life's ups and downs. Working here you'll feel a part of our friendly and inclusive environment.

We'll value you for who you are and what you bring. We support each other and push boundaries to achieve incredible things and make a real difference to our clients and communities.

You will play an important role in further developing the team's established reputation and displaying education law expertise. You will be actively involved in business development.

You'll have the opportunity to get involved in an interesting and diverse caseload; right from the beginning you'll play a key part in securing justice for our clients and making a real difference in their lives. You'll have the confidence to hit the ground running and have the ability to work independently on issued cases. Given the nature of the work you'll work with vulnerable clients and your role will be highly rewarding, but you'll have to be resilient and calm whilst also putting your clients' needs first at all times.

    • UTT appeals
    • School exclusions
    • Admissions
    • Disability Discrimination Act Cases
    • Complaints against Local Authorities/ LGO and school complaints
    • Education- related Judicial Reviews
    • Providing advice to schools and colleges on education law and safeguarding matters
    • Providing ad-hoc SEN strategy advice and conducting EHCP health checks
    • Community Care law work related to our education matters
    • Working on privately and publicly funded work.
  • Supervising junior colleagues and conducting file reviews in due course
  • Other potential management responsibilities
  • Developing relationships with appropriate groups and organisations to provide an exceptional client experience and generate new cases and working with internal departments
  • Writing and delivering seminars to charities and education- related organisations and attending networking events as part of business development
  • Writing education law articles and case reviews
Our Benefits - What We Can Offer You
  • Flexible working options - Make work fit around your life, not the other way around.
  • 25 days holidays as standard plus bank holidays - You can 'buy' up to 35hrs of extra holiday too
  • Generous and flexible pension schemes.
  • Volunteering days – Two days of volunteering every year for a cause of your choice (fully paid)
  • Westfield Health membership, offering refunds on medical services alongside our Aviva Digital GP services.

We also offer a wide range of well-being initiatives to encourage positive mental health both in and out of the workplace and to make sure you're fully supported to work in a way that best suits you. This includes our Flexible by Choice programme which gives our colleagues more choice over how they wish to work subject to role and client requirements.

We have recently been ranked in the Best Workplaces for Wellbeing for Large Organisations for 2023

Our responsible business programmes are fundamental to who we are and our purpose. We're committed to being a diverse and inclusive workplace where our colleagues can flourish, and we have established a number of inclusion network groups across our business to support this aim.

Our commitment to Social Responsibility, community investment activity and tackling climate change is a fundamental part of who we are. It's made up of four strands: Our People, Our Community, Our Environment and Our Pro Bono.
