Operating a religious or value-based school presents unique challenges. School leadership, Executive Directors, and board members bear a great deal of responsibility when it comes to employment law compliance, risk management, hiring, and budgetary considerations.
For over 20 years, our attorneys have provided carefully crafted on-call advice and risk management to schools throughout the country, and most notably in New York and New Jersey’s Jewish school (yeshiva) community.
Some of the services we provide to the religious school community include:
- Drafting administration and teacher contracts
- Creating handbooks for students, faculty, and employees
- Assistance with devising on-boarding processes and performance improvement plans for teachers
- Advice on hiring and termination procedures
- Board advice and guidance
- Crisis management
Our school clients enjoy the benefits of having specialized general counsel at a fraction of the cost.
