Educational institutions today face a rapidly expanding range of legal issues unique to their field.  More than ever, they need sound legal advice from attorneys familiar with their special needs.  Our education attorneys have more than 100 years combined experience addressing and solving these issues.  Since 1972, we have served as general counsel, bond counsel, or special counsel to scores of school districts and educational institutions.  We serve as general counsel to the largest school district in St. Louis County.  This experience and our dedication to prompt service enable us to serve the needs of our education clients timely and effectively on all matters affecting educational institutions.

Our education attorneys lecture extensively to groups of school board members, school administrators, principals, and other attorneys on education law issues and have given major presentations to school officials, administrators, and lawyers at seminars sponsored by state education organizations and national educational services.

Our lawyers are active in a wide variety of national, state and local professional associations including: the National School Boards Association; Missouri School Boards Association; Missouri Association of School Business Officials; Sections of Labor and Employment and State and Local Government Law of the American Bar Association; International Municipal Lawyers Association; Municipal Bond Attorneys of the United States; National Association of Bond Lawyers; Worldwide Employee Benefits Network; National Association of Public Pension Attorneys; Education Law Association; and Council of School Attorneys, as well as court and administrative agency advisory committees.  Members of the Firm have held leadership positions in many of these professional associations.
