Education Law Attorneys – Grand Rapids Lawyers Representing Schools & Universities
The educational system in Michigan is as complex as it is diverse. With global competition comes increasing pressure on all levels of education to provide world class education in a fiscally responsive manner. It should come as no surprise that this increased demand on our educational system has created a myriad of legal issues and problems. Bleakley, Cypher, Parent, Warren and Quinn has the experience to help navigate these problems.
Our Practice
Over the past several years there has been an interesting trend in workers’ compensation claims involving teachers, administration and support staff. The majority of psychiatric claims have been made by primarily two groups – teachers and prison guards. Bleakley, Cypher, Parent, Warren and Quinn has the expertise to successfully defend these types of claims and manage the impact they have on school management and personnel. By the nature of psychiatric claims, these cases involve very sensitive and confrontational problems that require experienced and uncompromising counsel.
The education system in Michigan also has complexities involving union representation and labor contracts. In many instances issues such as tenure and grievance processes make a complex situation even more difficult. We have the experience and knowledge necessary to negotiate not only with school personnel, but also with union representatives to achieve the best result possible for school and college administrations.
