Title IX requires educational institutions to maintain policies, practices, and programs that do not discriminate against anyone based on sex. We help individuals and institutions work through Title IX claims in a process that is compassionate, thorough, and fair.
Title IX claims are painful for the claimants and for the respondent institutions. Whether we are investigating those claims, facilitating discussions between the parties, or mediating disputes arising out of Title IX claims, we handle every case with sensitivity, discretion, and professionalism. We understand the toll that Title IX claims take on all sides and we help resolve those claims in a restorative, respectful manner.
