RELATED BLOGS
Our attorneys have defended postsecondary educational institutions in lawsuits and arbitrations brought by former students in multiple jurisdictions. In these cases, former students often allege misrepresentation and violation of state consumer protection statutes during the recruitment process about topics such as employment opportunities, transferability of credits, financial aid, and educational quality.
Our litigators also have extensive experience advising postsecondary educational institutions facing audits, government investigations, charges brought by regulators, False Claims Act actions, and employee-related litigation.
Our comprehensive understanding of the postsecondary education industry — and, in particular, our experience as to federal and state laws and accreditor standards governing postsecondary educational institutions — permit us to efficiently and effectively evaluate the facts in each case and develop strategies for success.
Across our entire Litigation group, we know how to manage a case to win it — and how to do so in a manner that’s consistent with our clients’ business goals.
