TABS Annual Conference 2024

Julie Fay will be presenting at the TABS Annual Conference 2024 on "Navigating the Minefield Together: The Head/School Attorney Partnership". In a minefield of risks where many problems seem just steps away from becoming a crisis, a strong relationship between the head and the school's attorney has never been more important than it is today. Whether relying on in-house legal counsel or an outside law firm, schools must establish an effective and efficient working relationship with a trusted advisor for timely risk management, legal advice and problem solving. How does a head foster a relationship so the attorney is in the best position to provide the most helpful advice and be a true strategic partner in navigating today's multitude of complex challenges? Her session will review important considerations such as establishing expectations around communication, expected scope of services and the role you expect your legal counsel to play in supporting you and the school, and best practices and tips for maximizing the benefits of a good school-attorney relationship.
