Stone King is an independently top-ranked national law firm that is deeply committed to education and which understands the opportunities and challenges met by educational institutions. It delivers high quality, full-service legal advice informed by national know-how but delivered locally through its network of offices in Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, London, Bath and Cambridge.


Externally recognised as a leading firm for education law in the UK, the firm’s specialists have in-depth sector experience in all aspects of education provision. In addition to advice on educational provision itself, the broader team advises clients on areas such as employment and HR, procurement, property, dispute resolution and litigation, and mergers. Stone King also has specialists advising on all aspects of school life, from the day-to-day to rare and nuanced matters, including areas as diverse as immigration, information law and intellectual property.


The firm also has excellent networking relationships with national organisations in the education sector, which it seeks to share with its clients. Many of the education specialists in the firm also volunteer their time to act as governors and trustees of schools.


Stone King works with clients on an as-and-when basis, but also operates a long-established and highly effective fixed-fee retainer service. With the latter service option, clients receive focused practical advice from specialist lawyers/HR consultants on operational issues that arise day to day.


Feedback that the firm received in the 2025 issue of Chambers & Partners, in which Stone King was top-ranked for its education practice, said: “The firm delivered bespoke, speedy responses with outstanding outcomes”, and “The lawyers are always responsive and go the extra mile to ensure that we understand all the options”.
