What's it like to work with F3?
Count on F3’s Government Affairs and Public Policy team to understand your unique goals and challenges and become your trusted advisor – the one you can call any time for responsive and knowledgeable answers and solutions that always consider the law but also make sure your decisions are based on what’s the best path forward in addition to the law.
What can F3 solve for you?
Our team’s goal is to read the horizon by monitoring state and federal legislation, to see what’s coming so we can ready not only our clients, but also the F3 attorneys who advise clients on policy, best practices, and, of course, compliance. While other education-focused California law firms will tell you what the law requires, F3 goes far beyond.
“With so many issues in education – many of them novel and/or contentious – this is a more important time than ever for educators to gain the ability to see ahead and around corners, and to put their stamp as educators on policies that may be developed far away or by those not devoted 100% to education.”
– Terilyn Finders, Chief Client Services Officer
It’s no secret that public education today is a more complicated business than ever. Dynamic politics, ever-changing government regulations, new technologies, and evolving demographics combine with the daily operational needs of our schools and our true mission, preparing millions of California students for the future. Our job is to engage our considerable resources to see what policymakers have in store for California schools and help you prepare – something that’s essential yet often hard for school administrators and boards to find the time to do. While most law firms will help keep you in compliance, we think that’s just a baseline, and true client service goes much further – from keeping you apprised of new or proposed legislation to tracking the local political winds.
We have monitored and advised both our attorneys and clients regarding emerging legislation in online instruction, health policies, education technology, student privacy rights, cybersecurity, labor and employment policies, environmental concerns (including water and air testing for safety), energy conservation in schools, mental health support services, and gender identity.
