Education legal service
Legal solutions for Educational Institutions
Our legal experts understand the unique needs of the education industry, providing tailored solutions to help you excel. From education compliance to board governance, we’ll help you safeguard your institution’s future legally and with peace of mind.
Tailor-made education legal services
Data Law
All data needs protection, but children’s data needs extra care and precaution. If you’re holding personal information related to children, then there are strict laws governing how you manage that data. We can guide you through this process to ensure your school and student’s information is safe.
Commercial Law
Running a school isn’t easy. Whether you need student terms drafted, board meetings run or corporate governance compliance, we’re here to help.
Intellectual Property Law
If you’re running a unique institution, then your unique curriculum is valuable and needs protection. Our expert IP lawyers can ensure your years of work stay yours.
Labour Law
Any business owner will tell you, managing your team is often the toughest part of running a business. We can’t help you pick your team, but our labour legal team can make sure their contracts are drafted, policies are formalised and if something goes wrong, we’re here to help with that too.

Why Legalese?
Upfront
fees
We quote before we start working, ensuring that you never get an invoice which you were not expecting. By committing to a fee, we align ourselves with our clients, so we’re both incentivised to work efficiently and correctly. Our belief is that legal fees should be affordable and transparent and we’re leading a movement bringing this ethic to the legal practice.
Quick turnaround
time
Lawyers are traditionally sluggish. We’re a breathe of fresh air. Our systematic approach to our work means we deliver work quickly and never ghost our clients while they wait. Imagine a lawyer who understands customer service, uses technology to communicate and gets work to you within 7 – 10 days (or sooner if needed). Now open your eyes.
Humans,
not lawyers
We built Legalese to address the problems with traditional law firms. We’re not suits, we’re not billable hours. We’re here to ensure you have a lawyer by your side while you build your business. Our lawyers are handpicked not just for their smarts but for their understanding of business and the entrepreneurial journey. In that way, we’re humans, not lawyers.
We understand
education and law
It doesn’t help to have a lawyer who always says ‘no’. Our lawyers think creatively and design solutions which stick to the rules, but get the job done. We bring to the table our knowledge of your industry and our team’s years of experience, to ensure that we’re forward thinking, yet grounded in law. Its why we call ourselves a creative legal agency.
