    Academy Trusts are charitable companies that run state-funded academies in England. They combine charity law with company law to operate schools outside local authorities, funded directly by government and governed by a board of trustees. A solicitor helps establish or convert an existing school into an Academy Trust, drafts and amends the trust's articles of association and its funding agreement with the Department for Education, and manages governance, property, and employment matters. The work is shaped by government funding rules and the Education Funding Agency framework.
