Ruth Rule-Mullen, Partner & Head of Public Sector Employment at Forbes.
Ruth has specialised in employment law for over 20 years. She has a vast range of experience and advises on complex matters regarding public sector and education clients in managing their teams; their trade union relations; their reputational risks and all other matters relating to employment law and HR. She is one of only a few solicitors that has successfully represented clients in a trade union inducements claim and has a strong background in trade union relations and crisis management. Ruth is frequently recognised by clients within the education and public sectors as someone who is a more than able communicator; direct, decisive and pragmatic but is also able to demonstrate a solid understanding of the sectors she operates in.
The event is on Thursday 14th October 10am-11:30am and is aimed at guiding those in education through the process of MAT conversion and growth.
The session will explore what education managers should be considering to enable them to either grow their existing academies or to convert to either a SAT or join a MAT.
