Building on its strengths in labor and employment and litigation defense, Florio Perrucci Steinhardt & Fader has established an education practice group to provide advice and counsel to school districts and institutions of higher learning in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

With the experience of seasoned school board attorneys, we provide leadership and advocacy to our clients in their quest to create and maintain outstanding school districts for children in grades K-12. Our counsel covers the requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001; other regulatory compliance issues; and matters involving civil rights, litigation, labor and employment, construction and environmental law. Florio Perrucci Steinhardt & Fader helps school districts manage new policy development, identify emerging needs and analyze relevant case law.

Florio Perrucci Steinhardt & Fader provides guidance on statutes, commissioner decisions, administrative law decisions, relevant case law in Superior and State courts, regulations and legislation. We develop creative solutions and understand that the size of a district can dictate its needs. Our attorneys have advised large urban school districts, small districts and suburban districts. Working with our labor and employment and litigation defense groups, our education law attorneys have the depth of experience and resources at hand to effectively manage dispute resolution, negotiation, arbitration and litigation in the state and federal courts and before administrative agencies.

For institutions of higher learning, Florio Perrucci Steinhardt & Fader provides counsel to colleges for labor and employment, and litigation defense. For colleges contemplating or managing expansion or replacement of their buildings, the firm offers many years of managing the myriad issues that come with construction projects. We provide legal counsel for environmental issues that frequently are part of any "bricks and mortar" project.

We are responsible citizens in our respective communities. Several of our attorneys are mayors of their towns, and others are volunteer public servants and, therefore, sensitive to public sentiment. Above all, we are parents who are concerned about America's educational system. As attorneys and as individuals, we are committed to excellence in education for students throughout the states in which we work.
