What We Believe: Our Approach to Education, Labor and Employment Law

Clients retain law firms to obtain results, and for over thirty years, Sullivan, Schoen, Campane & Connon, LLC has delivered. Our firm is equally adept at counseling clients to avoid litigation and resolve issues and defending clients should litigation occur. Using experience, creativity and vision, our attorneys have established an unsurpassed record of successful advocacy on behalf of Connecticut's school boards. Cases other lawyers claimed could not be won have become part of the extensive list of favorable decisions we have obtained for our clients. That is because at Sullivan, Schoen, we believe the practice of law is the art of the possible.

We also believe that to serve a client well, a law firm must offer more than just advice - it must offer solutions. Legal opinions have little value if they cannot be translated into practical applications. Consequently, we make it a priority to learn every aspect of a client's organization, as well as the community and the political environment in which they operate. That is why when our attorneys address a client's needs, we do so with a full understanding not only of the legal question confronting the client, but also of its broader implications to the successful operation of the school district, municipality or private business.

Sullivan, Schoen's unique size and structure enables clients to work directly with experienced attorneys who have dealt with virtually every issue confronting school boards, municipalities and private employers. It also fosters a more personal approach, and clients take comfort in the fact that at Sullivan, Schoen, they will work with an attorney they know and trust. That relationship does not end when litigation occurs, or when a contractual issue with a vendor arises, for unlike larger, more corporate law firms, we do not have to hand these cases off to other departments and to attorneys who do not know the client or the client's business. We have the experience and the ability to handle every aspect of the case, even through the trial and appellate levels.
