Veale Wasbrough Vizards' independent schools experience is nationally recognised. The Legal 500 2008 edition highlighted the firm as one of the leading education specialists in the country.
We advise education institutions across England, Scotland and Wales including independent schools, nurseries, universities, academies, colleges of further education, training colleges, and examining boards. We also provide advice and training to school associations such as ISC, AGBIS, HMC, GSA, BSA and ISBA. Most recently, we have been described in the Legal 500 2008 edition as: "a team who ‘positively fizz with enthusiasm and good sense’, co-headed by the highly praised Simon Bevan and Barney Northover."
Our experience over more than 20 years of advising independent schools enables us to identify common issues and difficulties and to support our schools clients on the whole range of legal and strategic issues facing individual schools and the sector as a whole. We have developed a number of products and services specifically for independent schools which can be tailored to each of the schools we work with - in this way, you will not pay for us to "re-invent the wheel" and can rest assured that whilst every school is unique, that we are likely to have the answer to any concerns you are likely to have.
