Our Schools team has advised independent schools on a broad range of issues including:

  • advising an independent school and its trading company on a project to provide teaching services to members of a foreign Royal Family in their country. This included advising on the commercial risk and employment law aspects of the project and drafting and negotiating heads of terms
  • advising on contracts and commercial arrangements including parent contracts, standard terms of purchasing, contract for services of visiting music teachers and catering contracts
  • advising on discipline, pastoral matters and disputes with parents
  • school fees recovery
