Independent Schools
Shipman & Goodwin represents over fifty of Connecticut's leading colleges, universities and independent schools. Drawing on our decades of experience of such representation, our attorneys bring a unique and diverse perspective to the issues facing these institutions, including:
- charitable-giving and other tax advice
- real property tax appeals and property development
- governance and by-laws issues
- student enrollment
- faculty and staff employment agreements
- financing (taxable and tax-exempt)
- environmental compliance
We have served as counsel to many of these institutions in over seventy-five bond financings and as counsel to the Connecticut Health and Educational Facilities Authority (CHEFA) in more than one hundred tax-exempt project financings.
