SP&F is a Vermont law firm that is recognized as an established leader in municipal and education law, serving the varied and changing legal needs of communities and public entities throughout Vermont since 1990.
Located in Burlington, our practice extends state-wide — from Bennington to Derby, and Springfield to Charlotte. We provide comprehensive legal services to governmental entities, large and small, and represent a wide variety of municipal, educational and other public and quasi-public institutions. With a focus on timely, focused and knowledgeable counsel, we have a wide range of capabilities, including the ability to address matters of general governance, land use, human resources and labor relations, general and special education, municipal and school district infrastructure, taxation and finance, and contracts and agreements.
With over 25 years in business, we enjoy a well-earned reputation for providing focused, knowledgeable counsel, and advocacy to our clients. We have a wealth of experience in our areas of practice, and the scope of our services has continued to evolve and expand. As a result, our team brings a strategic mix of experienced knowledge and fresh energy to each problem — decades of municipal and education law experience combined with influential new thinking for the years ahead.
Unwavering dedication has helped us to maintain strong, long-term relationships with our clients. Through early identification of potential issues, we are able to assist our clients in avoiding or minimizing costly and time-consuming problems and litigation. When litigation does occur, however, the lawyers at SP&F have the knowledge, training, and experience to effectively advocate for our clients’ interests in state and federal courts, and before state and federal agencies and tribunals.
