About ehcp solicitors
Navigating the EHCP system can be overwhelming. When Local Authorities refuse to assess, issue inadequate plans, or fail to deliver the provision they've agreed, many families turn to specialist SEND solicitors. These are lawyers who know education law inside out and can fight your corner — from initial applications through to tribunal hearings.
Consider instructing a solicitor if your Local Authority has refused to carry out an EHC needs assessment, if the proposed EHCP doesn't accurately reflect your child's needs, if the LA is trying to name an unsuitable school, if provision specified in the plan isn't being delivered, or if you're facing a tribunal appeal. The sooner you get legal advice, the stronger your position.
SEND services in London
London is served by 32 borough councils, each with their own SEND provision and Local Offer. The quality and availability of services varies significantly between boroughs — some have well-funded SEND teams while others have faced significant cuts. Families in London often benefit from a wide choice of private practitioners, though costs tend to be higher than other parts of the UK.
Typical costs
Legal fees vary significantly. Some solicitors offer fixed-fee packages for specific stages (e.g., reviewing an EHCP, drafting an appeal). Hourly rates typically range from £150 to £300. Legal aid is available for some SEND tribunal cases — ask your solicitor whether you might qualify. Many families find the cost is justified by the provision secured.
