Who’s for Academic Justice?
Afik & Co. Law Firm provides legal representation to students, parents and educational staff members in disciplinary proceedings in educational institutions, as an integral part of the firm's criminal department. We understand that these proceedings, although not always criminal in nature, are liable to have a significant impact on the academic and personal future of those involved.
Our services in this field include:
- Representation in disciplinary proceedings: We accompany and represent students and parents in disciplinary committees in schools, colleges and universities, for offenses such as sexual harassment, verbal or physical violence, serious disciplinary offenses, theft, and more.
- Handling criminal cases within educational institutions: When a disciplinary offense becomes a criminal offense, we provide professional criminal counseling and representation, with an understanding of the special implications of proceedings within the educational system.
- Legal support for educational staff members: We represent teachers and educators in disciplinary proceedings or criminal investigations opened against them.
Our legal team works with sensitivity and professionalism, with the aim of protecting the rights of students and educational staff and ensuring a fair process, while trying to reach the best result that allows for a return to routine.
