Managing Partner

Ingerman Smith, a leading voice in education, municipal and labor law.

At Ingerman Smith, LLP, Education Law isn’t a practice area — it’s our focus. For decades, we’ve served public school districts, Boards of Cooperative Education, private schools, higher education institutions, and educational leaders across New York State. Innovative, experienced, and strategic, we relentlessly pursue remarkable results for our clients. It all starts with our client-first approach, where we listen to our clients and carefully guide them through procedure and processes, while simultaneously staying ahead of the shifting, and complex, legal landscape. We see ourselves as an extension of your team – the player who brings decades of experience offering strategic guidance and modern solutions.

We understand the legal and regulatory landscape unique to New York’s education system — and we provide clear, proactive, and strategic counsel so that schools can focus on what matters most: educating students.
