Amy Guerin’s versatility as an attorney who can fill multiple roles comes from her early background in public policy as well as years spent as a sole practitioner who focused on all aspects of school and municipal law, labor and employment law and civil rights.

Amy is a seasoned public advocate who has been working with school districts and municipalities for more than a dozen years in capacities such as labor attorney, solicitor/special counsel, policy director, spokesperson and school board member. Her private practice was focused on school law, special education, and labor and employment matters. Prior to opening her firm, Amy practiced law with a suburban Pennsylvania firm that specializes in representing educational entities. Prior to that, she was the Philadelphia School Reform Commission’s first Policy Director where she was responsible for developing policy, supervising outside counsel, overseeing government relations, and managing the Commission’s quasi-judicial duties. In fact, Amy overhauled the Commission’s student expulsion practices and was responsible for two major public policy taskforces on charter school issues.

She has conducted numerous internal investigations into all manners of alleged student and employee misconduct, defended school district and municipal disciplinary decisions, routinely represented school boards and municipalities before both judicial and administrative law bodies, advised on Constitutional issues that impact school operations, and similar work.

She has been a CLE instructor/guest faculty at the Pennsylvania School Solicitors Association and the Pennsylvania Bar Institute, and served for two years on the Burlington Township Board of Education.
