SalimaMawji Law is a highly experienced law firm with a specialisation in resolving issues and grievances in the education and employment sectors.

With many years’ collective professional experience, our team are well-placed to provide advice and legal representation in dealing with disciplinary issues, accusations of plagiarism, escalating engagement to pursue and resolve unjust treatment, and much more.

We also provide aid to legal firms and solicitors that are looking to build education law departments, advising on best practices to deploy and what key pitfalls to avoid.

Our team will work tirelessly with you through every step of the process and help you secure the best possible outcome for your situation. We provide expert guidance for the range of options available to you, whether you are pursuing a complaint, defending your conduct, or collating evidence to consolidate your argument. We understand that challenging educational institutions can be difficult. That’s why you need an experienced team that is well-versed in dealing with the complexities that can arise. And – if required – we are also able to help in escalating your grievance to the Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education.

We also understand that resolving sensitive issues while practising in the academic sector can be extremely difficult. Our team works with you to provide the highest possible standards of support and care – allowing you to know that you are professionally and accurately being represented to the highest possible standard.

For firms, we are able to help provide a wealth of expert guidance and assistance to put in place the best protocols and steps possible. This includes high level and specific consultation work and undertaking any bespoke, mission-critical assistance required for your business case. This includes the creation of business and marketing plans, the construction of fixed-term growth plans, and much more. Our team can also help build your client base and secure cross-referral clients as required.

Legal advice with no hidden costs

We work on an Agreed Fee basis. This means that you will have a brief call with a Solicitor free of charge. The Solicitor will then ask you to send your documents to us via email. We will then assess whether we can take on your matter. If we can, we will provide you with an Agreed Fee. Once you have accepted the Agreed Fee, we will invoice you and you will need to place the Agreed Fee in the Firm’s Office Account before any work is undertaken. An Agreed Fee means that is the only fee you will pay for the piece of work that we agree with you in writing. We cannot increase the fee for that piece of work and the Agreed Fee is payable whether or not the agreed work is completed.

Our fees are fair and competitive.

We know from experience that the further and higher education sector can be difficult to negotiate when our clients encounter issues. There are few qualified sectoral practitioners in the market and even fewer that have experience of the nuance involved when defending an individual in the face of the united front that many academic institutions represent.

If you require legal assistance in the academic sector, you can get in touch with us directly for a free, no commitment brief consultation. We will work with you to help address your personal or professional needs – whatever your case – and that you get the best advice and support possible.
