Education

These are interesting times for education in the UK with many schools looking at, and having completed academy conversion.

You’ll know well enough how regulated the education industry can be, the size of the budgets involved, and the complexity caused by the interest of multiple stakeholders – to say nothing of community passion.

That’s the reason we take education so seriously at Stephens Scown. Our dedicated team will take the time to visit your school or college, listen to your situation in depth, and immerse themselves in the entire process.

Whether it’s academy conversion, joint ventures, buying and selling school assets, negotiating contracts or resolving disputes, you’ll benefit from a key relationship manager who acts as your first port of call with the firm, and the reassurance that the advice you need is only ever a phone call away.

As your legal partners, you’ll find us insightful, committed and empathetic.  We always offer concrete opinions and advice you can trust.
