Firm strengthens Schools Support Service with education hire

Winckworth Sherwood has reinforced its education team with the appointment of Jack Howes. Joining from Coram Children’s Legal Centre, Jack will be part of the firm’s Schools Support Service, working with schools and academy trusts while focusing on special education needs and disability discrimination.

The firm's 20-strong education law team is known for its work supporting SEND (special educational needs and disabilities) children. Expanding its services, the team now advises parents seeking to challenge local authority decisions regarding their children’s education.

On his appointment, Jack expressed enthusiasm for the role: ‘Winckworth Sherwood has a first-class reputation in the education sector. I am thrilled to join its Schools Support Service and to developing my career further.’

Andrea Squires, partner and head of education, welcomed him, saying: ‘Jack has a strong track record, having started and built his career at a charity with an excellent reputation for SEND advice. We all look forward to the contribution he will make.’
