Your problems …
Decision makers in the education sector, in managing strategic planning and dealing with day to day practicalities, frequently have to grapple with a wide variety of legal issues:

Are we structured properly to run the business, hold our property and achieve our objects?
Would our contracts of employment stand up if there was a dispute?
Are we charitable in law?
Are there any legal problems in the ways in which we are using the income from endowments?
Are there any problems in the way in which we are holding and using information about students and parents and staff?
Should we be considering a merger or a restructuring, and if so, what are the implications?

… solved
Charles Russell is recognised as one of the leading charity law firms in the country. We have been active in the education sector for decades and act for many well-known schools, colleges, universities and other educational organisations. From our offices in London, Guildford, Cheltenham and Oxford we work closely with our clients to provide practical solutions to such problems.

The big picture
The proposed new charities legislation will have a very significant impact on education charities. The Education Group has been actively involved in the consultation process and is well placed to advise clients on the opportunities and problem areas which the new proposals present.
