Education Law

The education sector presents its own unique challenges. We have the expertise to deal with these, having experience providing advice on a wide range of legal matters to New Zealand Schools in the early education, primary and secondary sectors. We can assist Boards, Senior Leadership and Staff with:

• Advising on Board of Trustee obligations, the investigation of complaints, disciplinary processes, enrolment issues, and other obligations under the Education Act.
  
• Drafting and reviewing employment and contractor agreements.
  
• Health and safety advisory work.
  
• Training for School senior leadership on a range of matters from employment obligations to crisis management.

We also act for employees and students of tertiary education providers, including employment relationship matters, as well as in student disciplinary processes and investigations.
