Listen First
We start by understanding your organisation, your risks and what a good outcome looks like for you.
About us
About Zarina B
Zarina B brings two separate consultancies together under one name: education consultancy for independent education providers, and legal consultancy for law firms. In both, we give clear, practical advice so you can meet your obligations and get on with your work.
Our focus
Built Around the Education and Legal Sectors
Education. We support independent education providers and their franchise and delivery partners with quality and compliance, widening participation, FE and HE partnerships and ongoing retained advice.
Legal. We support law firms that want to outsource work to a UK lawyer: retainers, projects and outstanding matters, quality assurance, legal aid consultancy and compliance, file reviews and costs billing.
The two practices run separately. Each starts from how your organisation is funded, regulated and run.
Two practices, one standard: advice that starts from how your organisation really works.

Our commitments
What You Can Expect from Us
- Confidentiality. We treat everything you share with us as confidential.
- No conflicts. We check for conflicts of interest before we accept an engagement.
- Clarity. We confirm the scope of our work, our fees and who is responsible for what in writing.
- Knowing our limits. Where a matter needs a regulated professional, for example conducting court proceedings, we will tell you and can work alongside the right adviser.
