Specialist solicitors to the education sector

The Clarke Willmott education team is made up of experienced education law specialists, who really know and understand the issues facing educational establishments. We will provide practical, commercial solutions in an approachable, straightforward way.

Together, our experts offer a comprehensive legal support service that covers every area relevant to schools, academies and colleges.

Our education law expertise

We are a ‘one-stop law shop’ for schools, academies and colleges. Our team members have experience in employment and HR, property, litigation, corporate, contractual issues and regulatory matters.

Here are some examples of our work in the education sector:

  • Advising senior management teams on all aspects of HR and employment law.
  • Providing a range of legal services for a £30m campus redevelopment project, including planning, construction, public procurement and conveyancing.
  • Advising a school on governance and constitutional issues during its conversion to academy status.
  • Helping a university get planning permissions for a performing arts studio, which had to be completed within a tight time frame to qualify for public funding.
