Education

The education sector is tasked with delivering the qualifications, skills and innovation that underpin our economy and it is a diverse sector, encompassing maintained schools, academies, independent schools, Sixth Form College, further education colleges, tertiary colleges, universities and other varied organisations.

As organisations, your structures, size and priorities may be diverse, but your legal requirements have a common thread – the need for legal advice which is commercial, proactive and sector aware, and which appreciates and has expertise in dealing with education, charity and public law issues.

Our approach

We are committed to the sector and have recruited lawyers specifically for their experience in advising education institutions. We know that you need the comfort of speaking to those who understand your business. We spend time getting to know you, understanding how your organisation operates and how we can best support your objectives.

Our work and our clients

Our lawyers have advised universities, FE colleges, independent schools and maintained schools. We act for university colleges, the further education sector, an academy, schools and research-led organisations. We are a CPC framework panel member for the East and the South East regions. Members of our team act, or have acted, as governors of schools, board members of FE colleges and as a non-executive member of a university council.
