Beyond our labor relation services, Upton & Hatfield provides general advisory services to School Districts and School Boards across New Hampshire. The School Law Group has extensive experience in, and a commitment to, school law and its related areas, working with school boards and school districts regarding numerous issues. This included right-to-know requests, the public contracting and bidding process, and enforcement of District rules and regulations. We likewise regularly assist School Districts and School Boards in navigating the State administrative process. The firm has represented school districts in New Hampshire for more than 40 years and prides itself on its continued successful practice of assisting School Districts and School Board on a variety of issues.
