Education claims

We have experience in providing advice and assistance to universities, schools, County Councils  and university spin-outs on a range of issues from claims against contractors for the negligent handling of asbestos in a school to discrimination claims brought by students.

We recognise that some of the issues faced by you can be highly sensitive and we work with you to minimise the possibility of adverse publicity whilst protecting your reputation and achieving a cost effective solution.

Education providers often face spurious relatively low value claims brought against them by students and we aim whenever possible to have such proceedings struck out at an early stage. We also have experience of dealing with complicated high value claims and recently settled a claim on behalf of a school and local authority for £3.1 million.
