Education lawyers win major national award

Harrison Clark Rickerbys’ education team has been named best legal advisor to education institutions against strong competition at the prestigious EducationInvestor Awards in London.

The awards, which recognise outstanding contributions to the education sector, bring together the leading companies in the sector and are highly coveted – they were presented at a dinner at the Hilton, Park Lane, on Wednesday.

In making the award, the judges made it clear that the “powerful testimonials made Harrison Clark Rickerbys truly stand out from the crowd”, and that their “passion for education shines through.”

The team, led by partner and Head of Education Kristine Scott, focuses solely on education and includes specialists in corporate, charities, commercial, employment, immigration, real estate and regulatory law.

Based in Cheltenham but working nationally and internationally, it has strong links with the Independent Schools’ Bursars Association and offers particular expertise to independent schools, as well as supporting academy trusts and working with both further and higher education bodies.

Kristine Scott said; “This award recognises the fact that we deliver great work every day, getting to the heart of a client’s needs and developing innovative solutions which support their needs. I am, delighted that the team’s dedication and exceptional expertise has been acknowledged in this way.”
