When facing financial struggles, many schools consider a merger with another school, with the aim of securing their future. We provide specialist advice on how to proceed, working with clients throughout the entire process.
We work closely with the firm's Corporate team to advise governors and owners of independent schools, supporting them in a wide range of areas, including:
Current structure assessment and restructuring proposals
Consultation process and stakeholder communications
Our team has recorded a series of podcasts, diving into the key legal topics which impact the education sector, including EHCPs, the implications of exclusion on SEN pupils and data subject access requests.
Education Bulletin
Our Education Bulletin is our newsletter which discusses legal matters impacting the education sector. Our Spring Term edition explored how the recent UK immigration changes have impacted the sector, discussed insightful topics such as gender questioning children, and looked at upcoming employment law updates.
Meet the team
Our industry specialists have expert knowledge of the sector; our team includes lawyers who have been governors, and who have worked in-house at a licensed student sponsor.
