If you are considering converting your school into an academy, you need experienced lawyers who can provide expert legal advice and support on conversion for smooth running throughout the entire consultation process.
Academy status can bring exciting opportunities for schools but there are many unfamiliar hurdles to negotiate when converting to an academy and we appreciate that it is new to you and that every school has its own individual – and sometimes complex – legal considerations to address.
From finding the right model for your school, the consultation process, staff transfers, the establishment of the Academy Trust to funding agreements, transfer agreements and land transfers, crucial deadlines need to be met and a number of legal agreements drawn up.
No two academy conversions are identical, but with DTM Legal’s dedicated team offering the full spectrum of commercial legal expertise, it means our lawyers can get to know your school and work to protect your best interests, making life easier for you.
