Dispute Resolution
HY Education offers a specialist dispute resolution service which goes further than traditional litigation. Schools and academies are faced with unique challenges that call for more specialist legal advice and, as education solicitors, we are well-positioned to provide the assistance you require.
Consider pupil exclusions, SEND tribunals, and banning parents from school premises - all of which have their own legal framework which must be complied with. Think employment tribunal litigation which requires specialist knowledge of the world in which teachers work: the Green Book, the Burgundy Book, and other policy relating to pay and conditions. Think about safeguarding and SEN requirements which your school must comply with. If schools work in a specialist environment, then they should expect their legal provider to have that knowledge too.
HY Education has a multi-layered team that is completely dedicated to schools. Our team of experts include specialist barristers and solicitors where education is at the heart of everything we do. Whether you require legal advice on how to handle a parent posting abusive messages on your Facebook page through to a barrister representing you in a complex employment tribunal, we have all the expertise in one place. Our education solicitors provide a complete end to end service resulting in full ownership of outcomes and consistency of approach.
