HSE board hears 3 proposals for legal services

Attorney Seamus Boyce addresses the school board

For the first time in a long time, The Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) School Board is hearing proposals for legal services.  Church, Church, Hittle & Antrim (CCHA) has provided legal services to the HSE School District for many years, and is one of the finalists to continue in that role.

Jessica Billingsley did most of the talking as CCHA made its case before the board.

Barnes and Thornburg is one of the three finalists.  On hand was Chris Greisl, who has just joined the firm after a lengthy stint as Fishers City Attorney.

Kroger, Gardis & Regas was the third firm to make its case before the board.  Attorney Seamus Boyce, who advised the school corporation while working for CCHA many years ago, explained how his firm would serve the interests of the district.

Board members had a few questions, but no board member provided any indication of which firm might have the best chance of landing this contract.  The board has set aside an information item to discuss the proposals at Wednesday night’s regular board session.
