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.
