Schools are, among other things, employers, purchasers of goods and services, owners or lessees of real property, and financial managers. Our attorneys regularly provide advice and services to our school clients in each of these areas, with a special depth of experience in the representation and counseling of independent schools and charter schools.
We represented our clients in virtually all areas that affect independent educational institutions, including the full range of employment and labor issues, personnel policies and procedures, student disciplinary issues, special education responsibilities, insurance matters, and real estate and leasing matters. Our attorneys have experience in representing schools of all sizes, philosophies and denominations.
Our goal is to work closely with school leadership to avoid litigation through the use of preventive measures and counseling. However, when litigation arises, our team of attorneys stand ready to represent our school clients before all courts and administrative agencies.
We serve schools as their general counsel, having provided counsel in the following areas:

Employment & Labor
