Our dedicated Education group comprises more than 20 lawyers with a strong track record in advising clients across the UK education spectrum. Our clients include independent schools, further and higher educational institutions, academy trusts, maintained schools and local authorities. In addition to advising educational and education-related bodies, we are one of only three UK law firms appointed to provide legal advice to the Teaching Regulation Agency’s professional conduct panels.
Our multi-disciplinary team provides a full service practice to educational institutions, including advising on employment and immigration law, charity law , commercial and technology, procurement, data protection, IP advice, mergers and acquisitions and governance. We regularly advise on estates-related issues, including construction, planning and property matters and advise on contentious property issues. We have considerable experience of advising on student issues, disputes and safeguarding issues as well as on health and safety matters and regulatory and criminal defence. We also have a leading debt recovery practice, which acts on fee-related matters as well as advising on debt recovery strategies.
Through our education sector thought leadership programme, Education Matters, we offer our clients and contacts access to newsletters, webinars and training on legal issues impacting the UK education sector. You can subscribe to Education Matters here.
We are members of Education Law Association, the Association of Regulatory and Discipline Lawyers and are ISBA Directory Partners.
