Described as a unit that ‘understands education’, Walker Morris LLP is regularly tasked with assisting schools and colleges with work such as academy conversions and construction advice. The team is additionally seeing an increase in instructions from higher education clients, as showcased by its recent intervention in a mandate concerning a major student accommodation scheme at the University of Birmingham. Jules Harbage heads up the team and frequently assists clients from the education sector with the drafting and negotiating of building contracts. Alex Jones frequently brings his contentious and non-contentious construction expertise to bear on education matters.
