Higher Education

Our attorneys have a long history representing institutions of higher education.  We render advice and counsel, we perform investigations and offer training, and we represent institutions in court proceedings.  Our experience includes:

• claims brought by student athletes concerning eligibility, scholarship disputes, and the conditions of their membership on teams;
• investigations and claims involving academic and sexual misconduct;
• advising on FERPA and Title IX compliance;
• breach of contract claims brought by students (including those arising out of tuition and fee reimbursements during the Spring 2020 semester);
• claims involving professional malpractice;
• rendering advice on minimizing legal exposure resulting from COVID-19 while continuing to provide educational services;
• commercial litigation arising out of breach of procurement contracts;
• claims involving police misconduct; and
• everything in between.
