Kate Fleming, Founder of LawEd
The Founder
Meet Kate Fleming
"I kept meeting young people whose lives had been changed by a decision they didn't know was illegal. I couldn't keep walking past that."

Kate Fleming is a multi-award-winning entrepreneur, edupreneur, duly qualified solicitor in Ireland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and career coach. She founded LawEd in 2010 and has single-handedly grown it into one of Ireland's and Northern Ireland's premier providers of legal education for young people and adult learners. Admitted to the Roll of Solicitors of Ireland in 2009, she also holds a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) and Bachelor of Arts from NUI Galway, a Diploma in Corporate Law and Governance, and a Higher Diploma in Career Guidance and Counselling from the University of Limerick. She is a member of the British Psychological Society, qualified in occupational testing (Levels A and B), and a member of the Institute of Guidance Counsellors of Ireland.

Our Vision
Bringing the world of law into the classroom.

LawEd exists to challenge the misconceptions around law and help young people understand how it shapes their everyday lives. We break down complex legal concepts and remove the fear so often attached to legal language, giving students the clarity and confidence to make informed, responsible choices. Because understanding the law isn't optional — it's a core life skill.

The law is for everyone — not just lawyers.
