New leadership for our education team
Our education team will soon be under new leadership as Nick MacKenzie takes over the reins from Mark Blois, who will continue his work with our clients at the firm.
Nick has been recognised as a leading expert in education by The Legal 500 and Chambers for more than 10 years. He’ll take over as Head of Education from 1 May.
Over the past two decades, Mark has led the team through a period of significant growth in both its client base and breadth of work, establishing Browne Jacobson as a market leader and winning numerous sector awards.
For further information on Mark’s decision and Nick’s vision for the future, you can now hear from them directly in this video address:
Richard Medd, Managing Partner at Browne Jacobson, said:
“Under Mark’s leadership, we have built a best-in-class education practice that epitomises our firm’s ambition to be at the forefront of society’s biggest issues.”
“Strong succession planning is at the core of any successful business and this has been a shining example, with Mark putting in place a detailed strategy to ensure a sustainable future for the practice.”
“We are delighted to have Nick at the helm now and are excited to see where he takes us in the coming years.”
