About Us

As a boutique law firm, our focus is on establishing a team of true education law specialists. Being a smaller, niche practice enables us to adopt a closer connection with our schools which creates a special relationship of familiarity, as we get to comprehensively know each school and their requirements. Education law is all we do, meaning we can focus our efforts entirely on your schools’ needs, from providing tailored legal advice, to supporting you with employment law, data protection or other specialist areas.

We understand the challenges and opportunities that schools face and recognise what they need. One outcome of this is that despite being specialists, our services are affordable.

How our journey began…

From The Bedroom

Our humble beginnings saw us starting our firm from home using a bedroom converted into an office.

December 2015

March 2017

Laying the foundations

Having started to build a strong portfolio of education clients, we moved into commercial offices and launched Education+, our flagship legal advice service for schools which is still going strong today.

Decision to go boutique

We saw that schools now represented the largest element of our client portfolio, so we made the decision to go boutique and focus our efforts entirely on the education sector becoming the first law firm in the country to do so.

Cementing the brand

We registered our trademark as the schools only law firm®, with an established vision to become a household name in the education sector. Our portfolio of clients had widened to include supporting large multi-academy trusts.

Legal 500 recognition

After only 5 years in business, HY Education Solicitors was listed amongst the top law firms for education law in the Legal 500, showcasing the firm’s specialist expertise.
