The Education Employment team has established a national reputation as advisers to many hundreds of schools, colleges and nurseries, academies, universities and other education institutions and charities in the UK, across the whole range of employment-related concerns that arise in an education setting. We pride ourselves on providing practical and commercial solutions for our education clients.
Our team have achieved this by:
Commitment: Our team is dedicated to providing specialist, tailored advice to suit the particular challenges and demands faced by education institutions in employment and HR related matters. Our determination to provide you with advice of the highest calibre is evidenced by our unique provision of an eight-strong specialist employment team within our Education Department.
Sector knowledge: We have gained a full understanding of all the features of an education institute that make it different from a work place in commerce or industry. Education employment law is a specialist discipline with schools being regulated in the areas of recruitment, management and dismissal of all levels of staff. We are nationally recognised experts in advising on these issues. Find out more...
Our service: Our service is based on sector specific precedents, is proactive in ensuring education institutions are up to date and is focused on high levels of service delivery. We want to be considered part of a client's team.
Specialist lawyers: Over the years we have built a team of highly qualified employment lawyers who have unrivalled experience of working with schools, colleges, nurseries, universities, academies and charities. Our senior lawyers are frequent speakers at national conferences and widely published in the sector press.
Practical advice: We are well-known for finding pragmatic solutions backed by intellectual rigour and a high level of technical competence.
Additional support: Our lawyers travel all over the country to meet heads, bursars, governors and human resources managers. We provide speakers at training seminars and governors' briefings. We also produce regular, free-of-charge legal updates by email. These email updates have proved very popular.
