Legal Services for Schools & Academies

From everyday legal advice around employment and safeguarding to guiding you through the academy conversion process – we've got you covered.

Legal services for Schools and Academies

We've worked with hundreds of independent, free schools and multi-academy trusts, so we understand the challenges you face and it's why we make it as simple as possible for you to access cost-effective legal advice.

As well as capped and hourly rates, we also offer a fixed price retainer that wraps up a year's worth of legal support into one simple fixed price. With Mi EdLegal, choose how many hours you need, and we'll do the rest.                                                                                                

We are leading experts in academy conversion and transfer projects, working with academies and trusts of all shapes and sizes including faith schools, special schools, free schools, UTCs, church schools, foundation schools, federations and PRUs.

We know that no two projects are the same, but our vast range of experience really makes a difference in identifying and resolving issues quickly and efficiently.
