Maxwell Gillott - Education Law Services


Very few children go through their time at school without any problems at all, although in most cases these disappear very rapidly when both parents and teachers are able to work together. However sometimes children may have greater difficulties either because of a learning disability or because of some other problems with school.


We can help you to find the right solution for your child and family, and ensure that your child receives the education he or she needs.


Education Law Expertise


  • Maxwell Gillott’s experience in this field is second to none and our firm has the largest education law team in the country focussed on advising parents and students.
  • We work hard to help you get the best for your child while still retaining a good working relationship with the schools concerned wherever possible.
  • We can also work alongside any charities who may also be helping you.

We specialise in the following areas of education law:



Peers agree that this long-standing team is a highly influential one, and commend its commitment to the sector. The wider firm's specialism in community care complements its education practice, and interviewees are particularly impressed with its expertise in Special Educational Needs & Disability Tribunal (SENDIST), judicial reviews and admissions, exclusions and disability cases. The firm recently became a wholly owned subsidiary of Simpson Millar, which increases its national reach to cover Birmingham and Gateshead as well as its original Lancaster base. Client Service "It always goes the extra mile."

Advocacy/Tribunals


We believe that the best advocacy at tribunal is undertaken by those who have been working through the case from the outset. Therefore we undertake most of our own advocacy in-house unless the parent wants to instruct someone else to represent them in tribunal.


Student Finance Claims


We are also able to act for students in claims against their universities or relating to finance.
