Blackstone Solicitors unites with UA92 to support student learning

Case Study

Blackstone Solicitors are delighted to be working with UA92 and to provide their students with an understanding of the importance of legal contracts and agreements in their current and future roles in sports.

UA92 was co-founded by Lancaster University and members of the Class of ’92, the Manchester United football players who won the 1992 FA Youth Cup, including Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Phil Neville and Nicky Butt. It has been instrumental in making higher education more accessible through its founding principles of social mobility and inclusivity offering a portfolio of degree and higher education industry-led courses.

Driving modernisation through the higher education sector, UA92 works closely with over 80 industry partners to ensure the curriculum is modern and relevant for today’s businesses, offering a unique insight into future career paths through mentorships, guest lectures and work experience opportunities. It also prides itself on offering first-class character and personal development, building life skills such as resilience, critical thinking, communication, leadership and teamwork, preparing students for the world of work.

By partnering with the university, Blackstone Solicitors will offer practical insight for young people embarking in a career in sports, through lectures and case studies as well as student mentoring assistance.
