Garfunkel Wild’s expertise in the not-for-profit world naturally led to an active practice in higher education. We represent a wide range of universities and colleges in all aspects of Education Law, and the members of our Education Law Practice Group regularly advise our clients on a wide range of areas, including:
- Academic and student affairs
- Facilities management
- Corporate governance
- Institutional endowments and charitable giving
- Labor and employment issues
- Student and staff disciplinary proceedings
- Operational and compliance matters
When these types of matters require the attention of a court or arbitration panel, we are the advocates. Many of our higher education lawyers also serve as adjunct professors, advisory board members, board of trustee members, and members of the National Association of College and University Attorneys, giving them unique insight to our clients’ affairs.
