Commercial law firm is looking to recruit an Education lawyer of 0 to 4 years’ PQE to its team in London. The successful candidate will work on behalf of the team’s Education clients, both independent and state-funded schools. The post will include a full range of Education law advice for independent schools, operational academies and other schools. This will include advice on governance; forms of school re-organisation; admissions; behaviour and exclusions; all other forms of pupil and parent issues; employment and dispute resolution issues including Equality Act claims and all aspects of routine school management. An element of the post may include work on the conversion of existing schools into academies and the setting up of new academies. The work will involve meeting with Education clients throughout the UK.
The ideal candidate will have the potential, together with the other members of the team, to market the firm and be aware of opportunities to cross sell other specialisations within the firm. To be considered for this role you will have experience of advising schools and/or advising charitable clients on corporate and governance issues. Therefore previous Education law and/or Charities law experience is essential.
