VWV is a full service commercial law firm acting for public, private and third sector clients nationally. We operate from offices in London, Watford, Birmingham and Bristol.
As national leaders in the HE sector, our dedicated HE team has direct and specialist knowledge and advises over 60 HE sector clients throughout England and Wales. Our HE expertise is complemented by our experience of advising clients in the wider education sector, including schools, academies and FE colleges, and in other sectors, including public sector and charities.
We are recommended in both the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners directories, with the Legal 500 commenting "VWV are highly responsive and flexible. Their deep understanding of the HE sector sets them apart from their competitors. Advice is always delivered in an accessible manner and a timely fashion".
Our recent reappointment to the National Legal Services Framework's one stop shop lot reaffirms our position as one of the leading firms advising the HE sector.
We advise higher education clients on all aspects of their operations including international projects, procurement and subsidy control, funding arrangements, employment, capital projects, real estate, student issues, governance, charity law, commercial issues and intellectual property matters.
Our higher education team is well-known for finding pragmatic and commercial solutions, with a focus on helping clients understand and manage risk. Our understanding of the higher education sector is enhanced by secondments to university clients, engagement with sector organisations and governance roles undertaken by partners, all of which enables us to advise from a broader perspective.
