Education

Our firm has a deep understanding of the complex issues impacting educational institutions today. Educational institutions face a diverse range of legal issues from student issues, contract administration, labor and employment disputes, civil rights and constitutional issues, and discrimination claims. The sector is confronting these issues while faced with enrollment challenges, staffing and retention issues, funding limitations, security concerns, and a constantly shifting regulatory landscape, and while confronting disruption and evolution questions arising from advances in technology.

Educational entities must confront these issues within a complex legal framework of local, state, and federal laws. This includes state and federal immunities laws and the unique procedural and precedential standards governing same.

LCBF understands the push and pull of these variables and how they impact legal issues and disputes, and has brought that knowledge to bear in our long experience working with education clients. We provide counseling to educational institutions and represent these institutions in a variety of areas. Our experience includes the representation of educational clients in discrimination claims, labor and employment disputes, special education litigation, premises liability claims, and personal injury litigation.
