Flint Bishop appointed to Derby College
legal panel

Leading Midlands law firm, Flint Bishop, has reinforced its credentials in the education sector with the appointment to Derby College’s legal panel. 

Flint Bishop has acted for Derby College since 2002 and the appointment follows a formal legal tender process lead by commercial property partner Heather Dixon with the assistance of partner and head of construction Thomas Jacobs and employment partner Robert Tice.

The college appointed a total of four law firms through the tender process: two for day-to-day advice and two for corporate governance and specialist work.

Flint Bishop will now be responsible for advising the college on a range of day-to-day work across all legal disciplines including commercial property, employment and commercial contracts.

Commenting on the appointment, commercial property partner, Heather Dixon, said:

"Derby College requires technically-sound legal advice from lawyers who are well versed in the education sector in which it operates. This appointment reflects our in-depth understanding and experience of the education sector and comes hot-on-the-heels of our Chesterfield College appointment.”

Derby College’s financial controller, Jon Mold added:

“We are pleased to be able to award places on the legal panel to the successful bidders. These firms not only demonstrated excellent value-for-money approaches but also that they have the right balance of expertise and understanding to advise us in key areas of education.”

The appointment is the latest in a series of wins for the firm which can now count Derby College, Chesterfield College, Woodlands School and Derby High School in its growing education portfolio.
