Charter school dispute had a strategic angle

The charter schools movement has been divisive for the past two decades, but an especially hard-fought dispute broke out in a New York City courtroom last spring and summer.

Kirkland & Ellis partners Andrew Dunlap and Jay Lefkowitz moved quickly and successfully, leading a group of lawyers representing 19 New York City charter schools fighting to open their doors this fall.
