Education Lawyers & Legal Services

---

We understand inside-out the particular needs of educational institutions and how much they differ from most commercial enterprises. This in-depth knowledge of the sector, combined with the range of expert legal services we offer, means we now act on behalf of a wide range of institutions up and down the country. 

We know that there is a huge range of legal issues that can arise in a school or college and we have specialists who can take the stress and complication out of each and every one.

The team

We aim to make working with our solicitors a stress-free experience that gets results every time. 

We achieve this by combining our experience and expertise with a straightforward approach to our work - we pride ourselves on our communication skills (you won’t hear any legal jargon from us) and our ability to simply get things done. 

Most of our clients find that their initial expectations are surpassed and, as a result, we often build long-term relationships with those in the education sector, providing a full range of legal services to them over many years.
