Bircham Dyson Bell is recognised as a market leading law firm in the Charities and Not for Profit sector. Our Education Team is an integral part of our Charities and Not for Profit Team, enabling us to dovetail initiatives throughout the sector, such as our proactive stance on behalf of clients concerned with the Charity Commission's approach to public benefit. The Education Team advises across a broad range of issues, including constitutional and governance issues, incorporation, employment advice, discrimination, data protection, health and safety, child protection, student issues, litigation (including debt recovery) and real estate together with, at higher education level, advice on protecting intellectual property rights and profits relating to funded research. The Team can also call on the expertise of our parliamentary colleagues on legislative matters affecting the sector. We act for Independent Schools and Further and Higher Education establishments and enjoy an ongoing relationship with the Independent Schools Council. We are also regularly invited to participate at events run by the Independent Schools' Bursars Association and the Association of Governing Bodies of Independent Schools. For more information on how we can help you, please contact Penny Chapman, Head of Charities Group. |
