Education

Overview

In education’s rapidly changing legal environment, we support our clients in maintaining compliance so they can focus on their educational mission. The goal of our work in education is to help our clients address issues before and as they arise, and to take a collaborative, people-centered and budget-conscious approach to problem solving. We are a comprehensive law firm for colleges and universities and are uniquely poised to serve as outside general counsel, offering top-level knowledge and experience in all aspects of education law and in all of the practice areas that affect day to day operations. We are proud to serve as the primary, trusted legal advisor for most of Vermont’s colleges and universities. We also work with primary and secondary private schools and public school systems.

Many of our attorneys are actively focused on higher education and have developed leading practices recognized on a national scale, including in the area of Title IX/Clery Act compliance and immigration, yet we offer tailored, pragmatic solutions that are structured around each client’s unique culture, limitations and budget. We begin each relationship and approach each challenge with a goal of first finding out what works best for you and your particular circumstance; we never offer a one-size-fits-all approach.
