Lawyer with experience of university disciplinary required

[PaulV]

Hello.

Unfortunately, I have a need for someone to advise on a case.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks.

Academic misconduct (copying/plagiarism) I've not heard of lawyers involved, though never been involved in the actual cases before.
If it's disrepute due to a criminal offence (even if not prosecuted eg drugs), then probably similar.
In either of these cases go talk to the students Union, they'll have an idea of what to do/ contact.
In most other cases go talk to the students Union, they should know the university regulations and be up there on any bullying/racism/ homophobia.
If the police are involved then I'd suggest any criminal solicitor.

Student union sometimes have a legal advisor (e.g. local firm doing pro-bono).

Not used them personally but I gather Kingsley Napley have a good rep in the field of administrative and public law.

This is the area that covers judicial review claims which is what you are potentially seeking.

Costs will rapidly increase so consider what you stand to gain from this!

Depending on the issue, you may be better off with a Barrister and may be better value
