Adam Henningsen represents school districts and their employees in lawsuits and administrative matters. In addition, he assists school boards and administrators with day-to-day legal questions including student, labor and employment, and public relations issues.

Adam serves as both general counsel and litigation counsel for school districts, colleges, and other employers. He has represented clients in a wide array of state and federal court lawsuits, as well as investigations and hearings before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights, the National Labor Relations Board, the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor, the Illinois Department of Human Rights and the Missouri Commission on Human Rights. Adam has also successfully represented clients in grievances, arbitrations, mediations, tenured teacher dismissals, and student discipline matters.

Growing up, Adam was deeply influenced by his grandfather, who was a school superintendent, his father, who is a retired superintendent, and his mother, who is a retired elementary school teacher. His brother currently serves as a principal, and Adam himself taught briefly before attending law school. When he turned his eyes towards a legal career, education law was not only a natural fit, it was exactly what he wanted to do.
