About
Provided by Troutman Pepper Locke LLP
Our nationally ranked team is dedicated to helping public and private colleges and universities navigate a full range of legal challenges, from the most complex legal issues to the routine. With a deep understanding of our clients’ mission and the unique challenges faced by educational institutions, we provide comprehensive legal services tailored to each client’s individual needs.
At the core of our educational institutions practice are attorneys who have served as chief legal advisors for colleges and universities. We understand the issues impacting our clients because we have been there, and we value the opportunity to be true partners with our clients in their day-to-day operations.
Educational institutions operate within a complex legal space, having to comply not only with federal and state laws of general application, but also laws specific to educational institutions. We regularly help our clients navigate regulations and legal claims arising pursuant to FERPA, HIPAA and other privacy laws, the Clery Act, and a wide range of state and federal anti-discrimination laws including the ADA, Title VI, Title VII, and Title IX. Our team also helps clients in a wide range of additional areas, from tax to intellectual property, major gifts to facility construction, and many areas in between.
