Mindful of the economic realities facing private academic institutions, our value-add representation focus is on providing workable and lasting solutions to multifaceted legal problems to avoid unnecessary burden and expense. In serving in a role as a trusted advisor, Jimerson Birr’s Education Industry Team relies on the applied knowledge and broad-based experience of its lawyers to help institutional and departmental leaders make wise and dutiful decisions with their institutions’ immediate and long-term best interests in mind. Our team is able to collaborate and successfully implement and sustain legal, operational and regulatory strategies that lead to the design and acceleration of policies and plans that help facilitate an elevated and supportive learning environment for students of all types and plights.
Jimerson Birr is deeply committed to education and understands the opportunities and challenges met by educational institutions. We deliver high quality, full-service legal advice informed by industry specific acumen and training at a price the undercapitalized education industry can afford. In addition to advice on educational provision itself and all aspects of school and college operations, our team advises on new institution acquisitions, finance and credit facilities, real estate development, purchasing, sales and leasing, employee relations, compensation and benefits, faculty and student disciplinary issues, data privacy protection and cyber security issues, sexual misconduct and investigations, intellectual property preservation, equality and anti-discrimination, consumer laws, immigration compliance, education regulation, procurement, corporate restructuring, crisis management, and litigation of all forms. Our negotiation skills help resolve educational disputes by finding alternative solutions outside of traditional litigation, and, when litigation is necessary, our attorneys are strong advocates in administrative tribunals, arbitration proceedings and courtrooms.
Jimerson Birr’s cross-disciplinary team is devoted to understanding and addressing difficult legal issues facing education industry clients with creative, cost-effective, and sustainable solutions, in partnership with each institution that are tailored to its needs. Whatever your needs, we are committed to helping your school and its students achieve their potential academically and beyond.
Jimerson Birr recognizes that companies in the frequently changing, heavily regulated and often-troubled education sector depend on sound counsel for mission-critical operational, legal and regulatory issues. We are committed to the goal of helping institutional and departmental leaders mitigate risk and prevent problems before they arise or escalate.
