Alexandra joined Tees in 2023 as a member of the Education Team, specialising in education and special educational needs and disability (SEND) law.
With both professional and personal experience in this complex and evolving area, she supports parents, families, and schools across a broad range of education law matters. Her work focuses particularly on Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), including advising on applications, challenging Local Authority decisions, and representing families throughout the appeals process.”
Alexandra is committed to upholding the legal rights of children and young people, firmly believing that every child has the right to fulfil their full potential. Her professional expertise, reinforced by her ongoing legal training towards qualifying as a CILEX Lawyer, together with her lived experience as a SEND parent and as a school governor, gives her unparalleled insight into the challenges families face. This combination empowers her to deliver highly practical, bespoke, and results-driven advice, grounded in empathy, collaboration, and unwavering advocacy.

Our experience with Tees was excellent from start to finish, with Victoria Kerr and Alexandra Kremer providing outstanding, knowledgeable, and responsive support throughout our EHCP tribunal, making a complex and stressful process feel manageable while always giving us confidence in their expertise. Thanks to their dedication and professionalism, we successfully secured a place for our son at St Elizabeths School and would highly recommend them.

Testimonials:
“From our very first meeting with Alex, my wife and I felt heard and cared for during our case to overturn the local authority’s refusal to name our preferred secondary school setting in our daughter’s EHCP. Alex advised us expertly and recommended first-class OT and S&L professionals to support our case. She worked collaboratively with us and the professionals, including our EP, as a team.” Michael Jones (Review Solicitors)
