Kenji Batchelor

Partner @Stone King LLP

Bath, GB

I am Partner in the Education Team at Stone King, which is spread across the firm’s six offices in Bath, Birmingham, Cambridge, Leeds, London and Manchester. Our Education Team is nationally recognised and supports a wide range of schools, colleges, universities and independent training providers. I specialise in advising independent schools and special schools and colleges on a range of governance, corporate, commercial and strategic matters and have particular expertise helping schools through strategic projects such as mergers, acquisitions, joint-ventures and collaborations. The Teams’s expertise is recognised across the UK legal directories as having a “top quality education practice with strong experience advising independent and state schools… it is a leading practice for Academy development and faith schools with profound expertise regarding the third sector and education policy.”I try to provide commercial and empathetic advice drawing on my 15+ years of experience on the boards of different schools and charities, in-house experience in the charity sector at WWF-UK and, in the SEN context, neurodiverse loved ones. Whether you are interested in speaking to me or any other colleague, please do get in touch.
