We are pleased to announce that Lindsay Gingo Law, LLC is partnering with education law attorney Megan Bair to create the firm of Gingo & Bair Law, LLC. Like Lindsay and Sarah, Megan has dedicated her practice exclusively to representing Ohio school districts. Megan comes from a family of educators, and so in addition to providing sound legal counsel, she has a unique understanding of how that counsel impacts a school district and the community it serves.

Joining practices enhances our ability to broaden our scope of services while maintaining a customized approach to advocating for public school districts. We are excited about this new endeavor, thrilled to work with Megan, and look forward to expanding our vision of providing exceptional legal services in education.

Megan’s scope of practice is broad; she advises districts regarding all facets of labor and employment issues, human resources, student rights and discipline, labor disputes, public records law, employee benefits, special education, student privacy issues, and board governance issues. She has served as lead negotiator in bargaining for teachers and non-teaching staff, defended boards of education at arbitration, in special education due process hearings and against charges filed with state and federal administrative agencies, including the Ohio Civil Rights Commission; U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission; and U.S. Department Education, Office for Civil Rights.

With an understanding of small-firm and large-firm models, Gingo & Bair will continue to provide districts with "in-house" professional services that foster a close attorney-client relationship rooted in trust and confidence.
