Expert legal advice for a fixed monthly fee

Teaching is more than a job. It’s a vocation, a passion, a way of life. Passing on knowledge, igniting imaginations and preparing pupils for the future is what teaching should be about. However, all too often legal issues can get in the way and take up the time which should be devoted to teaching.

Our package is designed to ensure that staff and governors are left to get on with what they do best, while we take care of those other issues. For a fixed monthly fee, you get immediate access to specialist advisers with a proven track-record in providing timely, informed expert advice on the whole spectrum of legal issues faced by today’s schools.

Whether it’s education or HR issues, governance or procurement, health and safety or data
protection, we are here to support you and your school every step of the way. Not only does the fixed fee offer you peace of mind and financial certainty, it also means that you can build up a trusted working relationship with experienced, capable lawyers who know the sector well and understand how it works ‘on the ground’.
