“Recommended Lawyer” Erin Smart Joins Public Law Team
Law firm Irwin Mitchell has expanded its Gatwick office’s services by opening a public law department headed by specialist education solicitor, Erin Smart.
Joining from Moore Blatch where she led the firm’s education law team, Erin has particular expertise in special educational needs and disability law and is individually recommended in the Legal 500 independent guide to the best lawyers in the country for having a “track record in SEN tribunal claims”.
The move will ensure that Irwin Mitchell maintain its position as a leading national education law firm.
Erin said: “It is really exciting to be joining Irwin Mitchell at a time where it is leading the way in strategic and high profile cases including the legal challenges related to cuts to special educational needs services. Irwin Mitchell has built a strong reputation for being at the forefront of education law and I am looking forward to developing the education law services which we offer in the south east.
