Forbes Solicitors

Having represented more than 450 educational establishments, Forbes has a national presence in the learning sector. They offer a 'one-stop shop' service, covering key areas such as employment and education law; governance, procurement and information management; and admissions, exclusions and appeals.

These track record of experience with their clients have helped the firm to garner a deep understanding of schools, trusts and colleges. Forbes appreciate that educational leaders and governors need rapid, responsive advice on a diverse array of legal issues, as well as facing a challenging combination of financial pressures and government legislation – all set against the backdrop of their own internal pressures and the pursuit of improvement and improved student and pupil outcomes.

The firm’s dedicated Education Group has developed a comprehensive range of legal services and solutions that are specifically aligned with the objectives of education establishments. Forbes’ educational ethos is to work with their clients rather than for them: building relationships and a productive rapport which effectively makes the firm an extension of the school, college or trust’s own team.
