The team is praised for its “excellent source of specialist education law barristers, whose expertise also crosses over into relevant and often complimentary areas such as public law, community care and mental health […] one go-to sets.’. Ably supported by the clerking team who ‘always manages to find an expert who can provide top quality advocacy in education law.’, the Legal 500 concludes that ‘'the clerking is of an exceptionally high standard.’.
