About us
We are a team of problem solvers. Founded in 1970, Robbins Schwartz pioneered the practice of education law as a singular discipline and our leadership in that field continues to be well-recognized. Over time, our focus has widened to include representation of educational institutions, public entities and private sector clients located throughout Illinois. At Robbins Schwartz, we emphasize preventive counseling, by identifying, evaluating and seeking to resolve issues before they generate protracted disputes or costly litigation. When litigation is in our client's best interest, our attorneys are prepared to initiate or respond to the full range of claims, charges or complaints, whether before administrative agencies or the state and federal courts. We nurture attorney-client relationships by fostering trust and confidence through clear, timely communication and by delivering the highest level of service. We understand the importance of adapting our specialized knowledge to serve the unique mission, philosophy and needs of your business or governmental entity. Our network of more than 30 attorneys collaborates together to ensure that a competent, knowledgeable attorney is always on hand to respond to your questions.
