Practice Area

Education & School Law

Over eighty years of collective experience representing school districts, administrators, and students across New York.

How we help

The Chandler Law Firm advises boards of education, superintendents, and administrators on governance, employee discipline, student rights, Title IX, and 3020-a proceedings.

Because we have represented clients on both sides of the table — districts and individual educators — our strategy is grounded in the realities of how these matters unfold in New York.

Frequent Questions

Do you represent both districts and educators?
Yes. Our attorneys have advised school districts on discipline and governance, and separately represented educators facing 3020-a and grievance proceedings. That dual perspective informs every engagement.
What matters do you handle for school boards?
Board governance, executive session guidance, collective bargaining, employee discipline, Title IX, student rights and residency, special education, and administrative litigation.
