Practice Areas
Our team of attorneys proudly serves a diverse range of public and private sector clients. While we focus on resolving issues proactively, we have the skill and experience to effectively advocate when litigation arises.
We were founded on the principle that schools and colleges are unique environments best served by a law firm that focuses on the legal issues affecting them. With more than four decades of experience, we help educational institutions navigate the challenges posed by continually evolving legal requirements.
Our attorneys represent clients in matters involving student rights and special education, providing legal guidance on issues such as special education services, student discipline, residency, and compliance with federal and state laws affecting students.
At Robbins Schwartz, we provide comprehensive legal counsel and representation to municipalities, park districts, and other local governments on operational, regulatory, and statutory matters, including compliance with state laws, housing and zoning issues, finance and taxation, board procedures, employee discipline, and bond transactions.
Our team provides labor and employment counsel to public and private employers, advising on workplace matters, compliance with federal and state laws, employee relations, dispute resolution, and collective bargaining, while developing policies and training programs to support effective and legally compliant workforce management.
We provide public and private clients with comprehensive real estate and construction legal services, covering acquisitions, leases, easements, zoning, bidding, contracts, construction defects, compliance, dispute resolution, and, for public clients, condemnation and eminent domain proceedings.
In addition to our core practice areas, our firm offers a wide range of additional legal services to meet the diverse needs of our clients.
We are among the most experienced law firms, having served public and private schools, businesses, and government entities for over 50 years.
We are relationship builders and advocates but also stewards of our clients. We create teams that extend beyond ourselves to the institutions we serve. This collaboration allows us to provide more efficient and highly effective preventive counseling. The result is more prompt, effective, and practical counseling for our clients, who, in turn, realize cost savings through this efficient process employed at our firm.
We offer our clients a sense of stability in knowing that we will be there whenever needed.
