Independent schools in the UK play a fundamental role in the development, teaching, nurturing and mentoring of future leaders.
Independent schools require wide-ranging advice on a number of issues and we appreciate that each institution will have its own unique requirements, depending on its structure. Our highly recommended lawyers offer professional, commercial and pragmatic advice coupled with excellent client service, allowing you, your school, its governors and trustees to focus on your operation within this sector.
