Our higher education solicitors understand the landscape in which higher education institutions (HEIs) operate. Our expertise will help you find practical and innovative solutions to the challenges and opportunities that you face.

Higher education institutions are becoming increasingly complex. In the ever-changing education arena, it is more important than ever that you have access to specialist legal advice on which you can rely.

Our education team contains experts in the legal areas that are likely to be relevant to you, and we have access to a full range of other specialisms within our firm. Alongside education law we can help you with employment law, property and construction, human resources, health and safety, regulatory matters, commercial law, corporate law and dispute resolution. At Birkett Long our lawyers are specialists and each one is dedicated to providing the best service for their clients.  

We are always looking for ways to support clients and try hard to put ourselves in your shoes. Importantly, we know that you need to balance finance, governance and regulation while prioritising your commitment to students - and we realise the challenges that can bring. 

We aim to relieve some of that pressure by providing cost-effective ways for education institutions to achieve best practice in the sector and to provide practical and effective solutions to your legal and HR requirements.
