The Firm’s Schools and Education Practice helps educational leaders meet their legal obligations to both employees and students under state and federal laws.

Nationally-renowned colleges, universities, and independent schools rely on Schwartz Hannum PC to provide the clarity, foresight, and guidance necessary to make smart choices. The Firm offers educational institutions a unique combination of sophisticated, personable attorneys and a commitment to fulfilling each client’s business and knowledge objectives.
