We bring together cross-disciplinary teams to help colleges and universities tackle complex legal, technological, financial, transactional, and reputational challenges.

We represent higher education institutions in their most critical matters, including internal and government investigations, white-collar defense, high-stakes litigation, regulatory enforcement, compliance, complex transactions, and Congressional inquiries. We represent universities, colleges, school systems, and academic medical centers in matters ranging from False Claims Act cases and payor disputes to employment litigation.

We also advise on the issues shaping the sector: data privacy and security, technology strategy, intellectual property, and regulatory compliance. We support institutions, foundations, athletic associations, and boards on governance and fiduciary duties, helping them manage risk in an increasingly complex environment.

We help clients secure funding and execute major education-sector projects, including large-scale construction. At the same time, we counsel on virtual learning strategy and the evolving relationship between institutional leadership and governing boards.
