Our education sector team supports public and private clients across the UK.

We want our advice to complement, not complicate, what you do. So our solutions are always designed with your objectives, culture and people in mind.

Our team is made up of employment law, property, corporate, intellectual property and commercial disputes lawyers as well as consultants specialising in human resources, health and safety and occupational health.

Whether it’s advising on disciplining a member of staff, moving to new premises, helping recoup money you are owed or teaching your people the skills to become better performers, we work with you, we listen and we deliver.

And with twelve fluent Welsh speakers in our Education sector team, we offer a fully bilingual service.
