Universities, Colleges and School Corporations
DeFur Voran is one of the larger Education Law firms in Indiana. We represent some of the biggest - as well as some of the smallest - educational institutions in the state. With decades of experience in every aspect of education law, we are well-positioned to represent and counsel school districts, community colleges, universities and other educational institutions. Our knowledge of the law and subject matter has helped us develop a keen awareness of the ever-changing demands and needs of the education community. We work with school board members, college trustees and administrators to find solutions to difficult problems and to provide straight-forward, practical and clear advice.
We anticipate problems, help avoid them and work in partnership with our clients to create a positive climate for learning in the schools and institutions we serve. As part of the comprehensive approach to our practice, we maintain excellent working relationships with all the key players in the educational world - unions, state and local regulatory boards, agencies such as the Indiana Department of Education, as well as the various taxing authorities.
