It offers a comprehensive exploration of the legal and regulatory challenges shaping the future of UK universities, with each session addressing a distinct and timely theme.

In this webinar, our expert panel will explore the anatomy of university mergers, from legal structuring and governance considerations to regulatory compliance issues, integration, and stakeholder impact. Drawing on sector-shaping transactions and real-world case studies, we’ll unpack the legal considerations involved in mergers covering both mainstream universities and the higher education “private providers”, and examine the legal challenges of implementation, including navigating complex regulatory landscapes and maintaining academic continuity.
