Mergers and restructures
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
- Contracts and legal agreements
- Department for Education consent
- Immigration and sponsor licence considerations
