Who we serve
Higher education
Colleges, universities, and systems, where a single matter can touch Title IX, Title VI, the ADA, and the Clery Act at once, and where the first decision in the file is which framework governs.

How we work
Working alongside counsel
We are frequently engaged through or alongside general counsel, which is what preserves privilege where the engagement is intended to establish it. We are a compliance firm, not a law firm, and we say so in writing.
Read the questions we getAcross sectors
If you are not only a campus
Institutions rarely sit in one category. An employment matter inside a university runs on Title VII as well as Title IX, and that work is set out on workplaces. A system that includes a laboratory school or a charter partner will want PK-12 districts as well. Tell us the whole portfolio and we will scope it as one engagement.
Scoping
Tell us the whole portfolio.
A scoping call settles the frameworks, the fee basis, and the deadline, and we scope it as one engagement.
