independent schools and colleges
The legal environment for independent schools and colleges has
been particularly challenging during recent years. Governors,
heads and bursars have to deal with difficult issues such as:
- public benefit and the effect of the Charities Bill
- competition law and the Office of Fair
Trading investigation into fee-fixing
- increasing regulation
- an increasingly litigious school
community
- demographic changes and other pressures on
pupil numbers
We can assist senior management in independent
schools and colleges on all the legal issues they face. We
are also one of the few education and charity law specialists who
have the resources of a large full service law firm at their
disposal.
