The firm understands the sophisticated needs of academic institutions, both public or private. We work closely with college and university officials, trustees and in-house counsel to develop practical and flexible solutions to these needs.
Colleges and universities face a unique set of regulatory challenges that require counsel with a thorough understanding of the increasingly complex legal framework within which their activities are regulated. Our experience includes counseling colleges and universities in environmental compliance and permitting issues, energy procurement and management, real estate transactions, Brownfields redevelopment, labor and employment issues, intellectual property matters and acting as bond and underwriters counsel to such institutions seeking public financing.
As a full-service law firm, we have a wealth of experienced attorneys in a variety of practice areas. In addressing the needs of our college and university clients, we routinely draw on the resources of the firm's environmental, real estate, corporate and business services, employment, public finance and tax attorneys. The breadth and depth of expertise of our professionals make the firm uniquely qualified to address the complex needs of academic institutions in a comprehensive and cost-efficient manner.
