Stone King will be further strengthening its legal services for schools through opening an office in Leeds in the spring of 2016. This will significantly develop the Firm’s presence in the North of England and is a core part of our aim to be the legal advisor of choice for educational institutions across the country.

Stone King is top ranked nationally for these services with established offices in Bath, London and Cambridge, and our new office in central Leeds will enable us to provide our clients in the north of England with the most efficient service possible, delivered with maximum awareness of their local environment.

A leading Leeds based education lawyer has been appointed as Partner to lead the new team at Stone King’s Leeds Office. He has a wealth of experience in the Education sector, having advised many of the leading academy trusts in the north of England. Roger Inman, Head of Stone King’s Education Group, said: ‘We are delighted with the appointment. He is a leading light in legal advice for schools and we are confident that the combination of his experience with the way we provide services for schools will make a powerful offer to schools and trusts across the north of England and beyond”.
