As a key part of our community, education is one of our core focus areas. Clapham & Collinge provide an extensive range of legal services and support to education providers in Norfolk. Our specialist education solicitors are able to assist with all aspects of education law, from academy conversions, HR support and employment law to procurement, education and commercial issues.

At Clapham & Collinge, our advice is underpinned with research and we keep you updated on the latest policies, procedures and legal developments.
