Drawing on collective decades of related experience, Wilson Elser works with educational institutions – large and small, public and private – to navigate the complex and changing regulatory, legislative, and litigation landscape and mitigate associated financial and reputational risks. Our clients include a broad cross-section of institutions, from independent pre-K through grade 12 schools to colleges and universities (including postgraduate programs), as well as education associations and related professional training organizations.
We recognize that while educational institutions share similar missions, each has a distinct culture and history, and often a growing array of complex challenges, including employment and labor matters, student accessibility concerns, claims involving adult survivors, as well as premises liability and personal injury matters arising from on-campus incidents and fraternity and sorority housing.
Our approach to litigation begins with a pragmatic understanding of our clients’ needs and an ability to escalate matters to litigation and trial as necessary to further their objectives. Wilson Elser is the preeminent defense litigation firm in the United States, and we enjoy an impressive record of success in various state, federal, and appellate courts on behalf of our higher education clients.
In the event of a crisis, we offer swift, comprehensive support for our clients, often becoming fully engaged within hours of an event. As circumstances dictate, one or more of our attorneys can be on-site gathering information and witness accounts to help clients manage investigatory demands and fortify potential future litigation defenses. Should a crisis require our clients to face regulatory bodies, we literally can be at their side, providing experienced guidance.
