What's it like to work with F3?
Your mission as a school board is our mission as your partner. You know what needs to get done, and we’re here to collaborate with and empower you. And if you’re not sure what needs to get done, we’ll help with that, too.
What can F3 solve for you?
Whether it’s complying with the California Voting Rights Act, the Brown Act, the Public Records Act, or simply training new board members on their responsibilities, our experience preventing headaches before they begin helps keep you focused on your mission: providing the best possible education to students.
Top Issues in Governance & Leadership
“F3 Law’s services are tailored to meet the unique needs of educational institutions and California’s public agencies, providing practical solutions and advice on compliance with open meeting laws and best practices for transparency, accountability, and effective decision-making.”
Matt Vance, Associate
We’re the ones at the other end of the phone call who know the law and know you, the board members, and your community. What makes F3 different is our keen understanding of boards and our unparalleled experience with the sometimes-complex board and governance team dynamic. Our clients are elected school boards, political entities that may have high turnover and specific agendas. Part of our job is to ensure that boards fully understand their role, their legal responsibilities, and their ethical boundaries.
We’re a firm of more than 80 attorneys focused exclusively on education, and many of us bring to the table decades of direct experience as school board members, superintendents, and former in-house counsel for districts. While other firms may provide counsel solely on the law without a true understanding of how things work, F3 brings our clients a much broader picture.
