Education law is one of the most complex fields of law and is under continual reform.
Our Firm
John Ford Solicitors is a leading education law firm and a member of the Education Law Association.
We have been specialising in this field for over 20 years and our team of highly experienced solicitors has effectively advised parents, students, schools and other organisations.
The education work we do is broad and thorough. We are able to provide assistance and representation in all areas of education law. We work with and for parents who have children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and we use judicial review against unlawful decisions made by educational institutions.
We can also provide advice in relation to exclusion and admissions appeals.
We also handle a large number of cases involving further and higher education, including college and university appeals, complaints to the Office of the Independent Adjudicator (OIA) and discrimination cases in the County Court.
