Institutions of higher education face complex regulatory and operational challenges.
Cassidy Coates Price understands the unique legal issues colleges and universities encounter at the student, administrative, faculty, and board levels. Our attorneys bring deep regulatory experience and industry knowledge to help institutions navigate complex legal and compliance matters. We are regularly engaged to provide day‑to‑day counsel, including policy development, training, and compliance support, with an emphasis on proactive risk management and dispute avoidance.
When disputes arise, Cassidy Coates Price is well positioned to represent institutions of higher education in litigation before state and federal courts, as well as administrative agencies. We represent colleges and universities in matters involving faculty and staff employment issues, student discipline, and compliance with a wide range of regulatory regimes, including Title IX, FERPA, HIPAA, the Clery Act, and related laws.
Our attorneys also advise institutions on premises liability matters, contracts with vendors and external partners, and the development and review of policies addressing employment practices, discrimination, student health, and academic and workplace accommodations. In addition, we counsel colleges and universities on risk‑management issues related to student organizations, athletics, study‑abroad programs, internships, and other experiential learning activities.
