    Education Solicitors in Worcester

    QualitySolicitors Parkinson Wright prides itself in acting for a number of schools both in the Independent and State Funded Sectors .

    We are fully aware of the regulatory regimes within which schools have to operate and in particular of the current issues facing the Education Sector.

    We understand that managing a school in whatever sector raises a number of complex legal issues which require specialist professional advice. We also understand that every school has its own ethos within which such issues need to be resolved.

    We therefore ensure that we build a relationship with all the schools for whom we act and become familiar with the particular issues that they face. Each school is provided with a dedicated Partner who is not only an adviser but a specialist mentor and friend to the school, its senior management team and governors. A number of our Partners do also serve as governors for schools for whom we act.

    That Partner is supported by our specialist education team who between them have a wealth of experience in dealing with the numerous issues that affect the Education Sector including:-

    The advice that we give is specialist, pragmatic and cost effective. Please feel free to contact our specialist education team on 01905 721600 to discuss the ways in which we can be of assistance to you.

    Admission Arrangements and Appeals

    We advise on admission arrangements particularly over-subscription criteria to ensure compliance with the School Admissions Code. We also clerk independent admission appeal panels and advise on the issues arising therefrom.

    Charity and Public Benefit

    Commercial Contracts and Intellectual Property

    In both the independent and public sectors, where LEA support is no longer available, we act for and advise our school clients in an increasing range of commercial schemes and projects. These may be designed to access new income streams, formalise previously undocumented trading relationships or to protect the value connected with branding and other intellectual property rights.

    Data Protection

    The law requires you to protect other people's personal information or data. Knowing what counts as personal data is important, as is how you manage or process this data, how you store it and what you need to do when you receive a 'subject access request.'

    Our specialist lawyers are on hand to deal with your enquiries in relation to these issues.

    Dispute Resolution

    QualitySolicitors Parkinson Wright’s Dispute Resolution Team can advise on a variety of disputes for schools.

    Employment and Human Resources

    We advise on all aspects of the employment relationship including appointment, capability, disciplinary and equal opportunity issues during employment and issues arising on termination. We regularly appear both in employment tribunals and the employment appeal tribunal.

    Governance, Corporate and Regulatory issues

    In an increasingly complex regulatory environment, our Education Team are able to advise our school clients on the full range of statutory compliance issues. These range from internal constitutional matters affecting Governor decision-making to statutory procedures prescribed under the Companies Act and other relevant legislation.

    Parent Relationships

    We advise on parent contracts and related agreements, consumer credit agreements, parental complaints and debt recovery.

    Planning & Construction

    We advise on all aspects of the planning process and are happy to engage with the local planning authority in connection with outline planning submissions, through grant to appeals where required. We can equally advise on construction documentation for our school clients and regularly work alongside other members of a professional team throughout the course of a build project through to completion.

    Property

    We have extensive experience in dealing with a wide range of property matters on behalf of schools in both the private and public sectors.

    We recognise that within the public sector there is a need to raise income from all or any potential resources the public sector undertaking may have.
