further education
Further education is a fast changing and dynamic sector, with
ongoing issues around capital funding and changes in commissioning
arrangements being of particular concern. However, these issues
have also created a drive for colleges to review business
structures and to consider opportunities for collaboration and
consolidation.
We provide specialist legal services to a wide range of
education sector organisations, including further education
colleges. We know how colleges work, in particular their changing
relationship with commissioners. We understand the educational and
business priorities of each college we work with, and advise in a
way that supports their aims and objectives.
