With the privilege of supporting the University as it embarks on its 2018-2030 Strategic Framework, we are delighted to have secured these positions.
As a critical part of Derby's economic prosperity, the University of Derby is a thriving institution home to a diverse community of over 20,000 students, both domestic and international, achieving Gold in the Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework (TEF) ranking in 2017.
Following a competitive tender, we will deliver a quality expert service to the University and complement its own skills and resources.
Jane Byford, Partner and Head of our Higher Education team, commented:
"We are delighted to have been appointed to Derby's legal panel and to have added another Midlands university to our client list. We are looking forward to working with the University and to supporting it in achieving its ambitious plans."
With over 50 higher education clients and rankings in both independent legal directories Chambers UK and Legal 500, we are recognised as a national leader in the sector. This appointment comes on the back of a series of successes for the firm, including appointments to four national frameworks managed by NWUPC, NEUPC and LUPC, as well as winning the Legal 500 UK Award for Human Resources last year.
