Colleges and universities need attorneys who understand what makes higher education unique. We provide advice, counsel and representation focused on the specific challenges and pressures facing academia. Whether it is labor and employment, student or academic affairs, our attorneys have the depth and breadth of expertise to help navigate the obstacles facing higher education today.

Universities and colleges operate in a highly sophisticated legal and operational environment. Our higher education attorneys have extensive experience representing colleges and universities with a broad range of matters, such as Title IX investigations, labor and employment law, NCAA compliance, complex litigation, student grievances, the Americans with Disabilities Act and a host of other issues at the forefront of higher education law.

We understand the unique nature of higher education:  its core values and campus culture, and how those characteristics impact the interplay of law, policy and academic mission; what motivates faculty and administrators; and what concerns the students, parents, alumni, communities and other constituencies which they serve.  Our advice is informed and shaped by these factors, so our college and university clients receive legal counsel that is customized to the academic context.

Our team includes attorneys with decades of collective experience working in-house at universities, colleges and other education organizations including as general counsel, NCAA compliance governing board membership and faculty service.
