SEN Legal

SEN Legal are a national and highly specialist legal practice with an excellent reputation. We have over 20 years’ experience in SEN and disability work, acting on behalf of parents to solve complex problems and to secure special educational provision for children and young persons aged 0-25.

SEN Legal are one of the only law firms to provide legal advice exclusively in relation to special educational needs and disability. We do not perform any other type of law (property, wills, etc) so clients can be reassured that all of our solicitors are expert in what they do. Our team also contains people who have personal experience of SEN and disability so can understand our client’s difficulties on a personal and professional level.

SEN Legal also undertakes Court of Protection work for  young people who have lifelong learning disabilities, and whose parents are seeking to become Deputies to manage their property and affairs and health and personal welfare. Health and Welfare applications to the Court of Protection are incredibly complex applications to make.

We are extremely proud of our consistent success rate of over 90% for the last decade. In 2020 we achieved a success rate of 98% (of over 200 cases).

With a national client base  across England and Wales, the majority of our clients are London based. Whatever a client’s problem, we can help. We believe in achieving the best possible outcome in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. There is no job too big or small.

At SEN Legal we are approachable, client-focused and supportive. We offer a sympathetic understanding to families who feel they have been let down by their Local Authority. We offer an extremely committed, family-friendly approach to our work. Whilst we are proud of our reputation for robust representation for our clients, SEN Legal’s main aim is for every child/young person to have the right to an education and the provision of therapeutic and/or Social Services input irrespective of means.

​SEN Legal also provides pro-bono talks/seminars/workshops across England and Wales for any charity/parent group/not for profit organization/school that approach us in order to spread knowledge to those that would not otherwise receive it. We offer our services at such events free of charge.  Similarly, we produce a free quarterly newsletter (for parents and separately for schools/professionals) outlining current issues, key deadlines, case law updates and things to be aware of. We also provide free information and resources to parents across all of our social media channels.
