Navigating the Scottish education system can be complex, particularly when legal issues arise that affect your child’s schooling or your university experience. At Gibson Kerr, we offer expert legal support in all aspects of education law. Whether you’re a parent advocating for your child’s rights at school or a university student facing a disciplinary hearing, we are here to guide you with clarity, care, and commitment.

We work with individuals and families across Scotland to resolve disputes efficiently and sympathetically. We are here to help you understand your rights and make informed decisions during what can be a highly stressful time.

Schools

Legal concerns about your child’s school experience can be stressful. Our education law team provides support with placing requests, additional support needs, and school exclusions. If your child has been denied access to a preferred school, we can help you appeal that decision. Where children have special educational requirements, we ensure that local authorities meet their obligations to provide the appropriate support.

We also assist with school exclusions and disciplinary matters, helping you challenge unjust decisions and secure the best possible outcome for your child. From safeguarding concerns to bullying, we work to ensure your child’s school environment is safe, supportive, and legally compliant.

Universities

For university students, legal challenges can interrupt academic progress and affect future prospects. We advise on academic appeals, student disciplinary procedures, and issues involving unfair treatment or discrimination. If you believe you’ve been treated unjustly by your university, we help you understand your rights and represent you throughout internal complaints and appeals processes.

We also provide advice on student accommodation matters, including tenancy rights, deposit disputes, and contractual issues. Whether you’re seeking support for a disability or defending yourself against misconduct allegations, our solicitors are here to support and advocate for you with discretion and professionalism.

We used Gibson Kerr for our conveyancing when buying our first home: extremely professional and responsive, always quick to reply to emails, phone calls, and kept things running smoothly. I always recommend Gibson Kerr to friends and colleagues and will continue to use them for all our legal matters.
