Universities, colleges and schools are facing ever increasing pressures to maintain very high standards whilst also complying with a growing amount of regulation.
We are aware that you are currently facing many different kinds of legal issues that will be having an impact upon your contracts, employment or funding. That’s before taking account of the liability risks arising from duties of care to pupils, students or staff.
With so many potential challenges you will potentially need the skills of many different legal specialists. We are a full service law firm which means that by working with us you will benefit from access to recognised legal experts in everything from employment law, IP/IT, charities, property and FOI specialists.
Education is a devolved issue and by working with us you will have the advantage of working with a Scottish law firm that also knows and understands the Holyrood Parliament.
We understand the context in which our education clients work and play together. This is one of the reasons why education has been an area of substantial growth for us in recent years.
The universities, colleges and schools we represent each have their own lead partner and many have their own client team. We recognise that where two institutions face similar issues, they may need to be handled in very different ways.
