Education

We score top marks for our performance in this sector.

Our legal services range from defending employer's and public liability claims for injuries occurring on academic premises, through employment law matters relating to the wide variety of staff employed at these premises, to handling disputes arising from construction contracts, whether publicly funded or PFI.

You can count on our knowledge of the classroom.

We have assisted clients with a variety of claims including those from pupils, alleging injury, failure to educate or failure to prevent or address bullying, and from staff, alleging stress or injury. Consequently, we have developed significant expertise in such claims and the particular complexities they can present. This includes the difficulties of investigating events occurring many years previously and the care and sensitivity needed where some of those involved are still children. We offer clients our superior understanding of the demands of their environment, of the stress that can arise in that workplace and the balance between the need for active learning and the possible risk of student injury.
