Sinclairslaw

With a demonstrated record of acting for students, children, parents, and members of staff in a diverse array of disputes and claims against schools and universities, the education practice at Sinclairslaw continues to provide first-rate advice to its clients. The team handles a broad range of admissions and safeguarding issues concerning discrimination against and lacking provisions for students with special educational needs. Helen Gill, who practices from London, is a key contact for this work and co-leads the practice with Cardiff-based lawyer Michael Charles, an expert on SEN matters who also represents students in exclusion and admissions claims. The London team also benefits from the expertise of Paul Conrathe, who has acted for parents and members of academic staff in a number of matters concerning school sex education policies, and discrimination expert John Ford. Cardiff-based lawyer Christopher McFarland is also recommended for his ability to act for children and their parents in claims related to educational provisions.
