In appreciation of its important role within our communities, we are very closely-aligned to the education sector. Our teams act for primary and secondary schools, school management bodies, education insurers, third level institutions and parents and students within the education system. Many of our solicitors are current or former members of various educational Boards of Management – so our expert knowledge is combined with practical experience.

Sensitivity

While we understand the very specific regulations and legislation that apply to the world of education, we also appreciate that many issues that arise are deeply personal – and need to be handled accordingly.
