FJG Academy Support - The Education Support Package
At Fisher Jones Greenwood we recognise that each school has different requirements depending on the size and type. We understand the different challenges posed, whether you are converting your school to become an Academy, or if you simply require some ongoing support.
To this end we have launched an Education Support Package. This service will provide different tailored levels of support to include:
• Employment law advice with the option to include Human Resources and/or health and safety consultancy
• Specialist solicitors advising on education (including advice on admissions, in house policies, work within First-tier Tribunal (Special Educational Needs and Disability) and exclusions)
• Specialist solicitors advising on commercial law (including advice on mergers and acquisitions, charity work and drafting and providing commercial contracts)
• We will supply you with employment documents ( such as contracts and employee handbooks)
• We do not require you to be tied in to long term contract with us
• We offer comprehensive insurance cover to protect against employee disputes which protects you against the cost of defending a claim at Tribunal
• Our expert team will provide a fixed fee consultation during which we will agree a suitable package tailored to your needs.
• The best thing we have to offer is that you get what you pay for and pay for what you get
