What the Team is Known For
Landmark Chambers regularly receives instructions to act for academies and higher and further education institutions, as well as local authorities, government organisations and individual parents on a wide range of education law matters. The chambers is noted to provide "excellent coverage of the sector," and the set's tenants exhibit expertise across discrimination claims, school closures and safeguarding issues. Members are also highly regarded for their advisory work concerning children with special educational needs, and they have significant experience of appearing in SEN hearings. Recent judicial review work includes a challenge to Hertfordshire County Council's policies relating to EHC plans and a case examining how a school should approach a permanent exclusion decision where there may be criminal exploitation concerns.
Ben Connor and Mark Ball lead the clerking team as practice directors.
