Education Lawyer

Description:

If you're an experienced Education Lawyer with strong connections in the state funded sector, then this could be for you. You'll be used to advising MATs, SATs and state schools on some or all of registration and inspection issues, critical incident management, admissions arrangements and appeals, complaints procedures, SEND issues and discrimination claims, pupil discipline processes, investigations and fair decision-making, safeguarding, civil claims and judicial reviews. You will collaborate with and be supported by the wider teams across the firm who provide specialist support to our AMS clients.

You'll have an established sector profile and strong technical, communication, people and project management skills. Whilst a client following would definitely be desirable, it is not a pre-requisite to being considered for this role.

As regards hours and location, we offer good flexibility. We would ideally like you to work from one of our offices for at least 2 days each week.
