Description

Jackson Public Schools seeks proposals from Michigan law firms to serve as legal counsel to its Board of Education and administration. Firms may propose for all or selected practice areas, including governance, labor and employment, special education, student matters, civil rights, business and construction, litigation, and training. The District may select one general counsel firm or divide the work among firms by practice area. The engagement is for three years, with an option to renew for two additional one- or two-year terms. Proposals must include a signed cover letter, firm and team information, relevant experience, references, service approach, training and conflict/disciplinary disclosures, a separate fee proposal, and required forms. The solicitation requires Michigan school-district experience, professional liability coverage, and notarized certifications and disclosures. The Certificate of Insurance is required at award, not with the proposal.
