Education

We have significant experience helping education clients find solutions to their legal and business challenges.

Ohio is home to more than 2.2 million students in more than 4,000 K-12 schools and more than 100 public and private institutions of higher education. Schools and businesses that work with schools face a myriad of regulatory challenges at both the state and local level. We have experience representing schools and business on a wide variety of issues.
