HE Counsel Beta

A legal briefing for higher education – from Wonkhe and Mills & Reeve

The sector’s biggest questions are increasingly legal ones

From the Sussex free speech ruling to sector insolvency and Martyn’s Law, what happens in courtrooms and consultations now shapes what happens on campus. HE Counsel tracks the rulings, regulation and legal risk that matter – and explains what they mean for the people who run universities.

It’s a briefing from Wonkhe, produced in partnership with the higher education team at Mills & Reeve.
