Education Law

Our Approach

Overview

HEKA's Education Law practice brings together, under a single scheme of ongoing legal support, the main legal needs of an educational institution before the Ministry of Education, Sports and Culture and throughout its daily operations. We advise promoters, institutional authorities, executive councils, academic boards and administrative teams on the management of operating permits, regulatory compliance, school coexistence, institutional contracting, personal data protection and the administrative, constitutional and judicial defense of their interests.

Our approach combines the firm's corporate, regulatory and litigation expertise with a deep knowledge of the Organic Law of Intercultural Education, its General Regulations and current ministerial rules, with special attention to the best interests of children and adolescents.
