We recognise that while operating in the same regulatory environments every school and college is a complex and unique organisation and "no size fits all". We believe in bespoke solutions for your unique situation, informed by our wide experience of other schools and colleges in the sector.
What we do
We work with schools and colleges as collaborative partners rather than as simply service providers. We take time to understand your aims and ambitions and help you achieve them.
Our clients
We act for a wide range of educational establishments in the private and public sector including schools, academies, colleges and universities.
Why Cripps Harries Hall?
Our education team which is multi-disciplinary has all the expertise you need:
- Governance and public benefit support
- Regulatory advice, guidance and support
- Employment and HR
- Dispute resolution
- Company and commercial law
- Property
We understand the broader issues and recognise that no two schools are the same - neither is our advice.
