What can I do for you?
I am responsible for supporting our education law practice. We act for over 120 education institutions across the UK, including universities, colleges and independent schools. Each year, around 40 of our partners and 140 of our lawyers from our specialist teams are engaged in the latest real estate, commercial and governance projects in the education sector. I support that work by monitoring changes in law and policy likely to affect the sector, and by disseminating know-how to our lawyers and clients.
I am also an experienced commercial litigation and dispute resolution lawyer, having acted for a variety of clients on a broad range of disputes and potentially litigious matters.
Supporting my clients’ objectives
My role involves providing know-how to clients through briefings (see our education law blog), seminars and assisting with our annual higher education conference. I also provide support to our clients and lawyers in our public law and regulatory team.
What do others say?
Our education law team is top ranked by both Chambers UK and Legal 500, which state respectively that our team is “totally professional, first rate in every respect", and “excellent, both technically and on issues that cross traditional boundaries of legal expertise”.
What else should you know?
I am a member of our public procurement working group. I have also contributed to a variety of our client publications, and have delivered a number of training sessions to our clients and lawyers.
