Farrer & Co is synonymous with the highest quality legal advice and service. We steadfastly guide our clients through their most turbulent moments. We help them to deal with the things that matter most to them. We anticipate what may lie ahead for them.
We work alongside higher education institutions through major strategic projects, complex governance and constitutional changes, and sensitive safeguarding and employment issues. Our close relationships with some of the world’s leading universities, research institutes and business schools, give us a privileged insight into the evolving pressures on the sector, and a deep well of knowledge on which to draw when we are seeking the right solution for you.
We advise universities on complex (and standard) Employment Tribunal claims, High Court claims, academic and non-academic TUPE transfers, large and small-scale redundancies, senior terminations, sensitive investigations (e.g. alleged sexual harassment or whistleblowing), complex academic disciplinaries and appeals, staff and student safeguarding issues, trade union issues (whether collective consultation, industrial action or negotiations) as well as contract and policy reviews and pension issues. This diverse expertise combined with an intricate knowledge of how the education sector works means we can work quickly and proactively to resolve their issues.
