What you get

The big story

The ruling or row everyone’s talking about, analysed properly – what was decided, why it matters and what governing bodies, secretaries and counsel should do about it.

Case tracker

Live cases, consultations and regulatory action, status at a glance – from OfS conditions and free speech complaints to tribunal judgements and CMA enforcement.

Expert view

What it means in practice, from Mills & Reeve lawyers who work with universities every day.

Legal developments of note

New guidance, consultations, enforcement and legislation coming into force, in and beyond higher education – and what each one asks of an institution.

HE goes to court

Case spotlights from the courts and tribunals – FOIA, employment, contract, regulation – with the sector-wide implications drawn out.

Worth your time

Cases to watch, reading worth doing and dates for the diary – deadlines, commencements and consultations closing.

HE Counsel is written and edited by Wonkhe, with expert input from Mills & Reeve’s higher education team – the UK’s leading law firm for education clients, advising over 130 institutions. It is in beta, which means you can shape it: tell us what you’d like covered, what is keeping your governing body up at night, or what a legal briefing should never do.
