Eversheds and Collab Group work together on initiatives to share insight and best practice relating to legal and financial issues facing colleges. We have created forums around topics ranging from accessing finance and funding streams to post-merger integration.

We have hosted joint discussion events and webinars to present a legal perspective on some of the challenges facing the further education sector. This has included discussions around the use of service companies, solvency and governance and the commercialisation of colleges.
