At the heart of the employment needs of an education institution are the faculty. Faculty members embrace autonomy and often lack a solid understanding of institutional policies and procedures. Our employment attorneys are well versed in the issues that arise surrounding the management of faculty. We can help provide expert counsel in the following areas:

  • Letters of Appointment and Employment Contracts
  • Advancement and Tenure
  • Faculty Discipline
  • Grievance and Arbitration Provisions
  • Academic Freedom
  • Collective Bargaining
  • Funded Research & Compliance with Grant Restrictions

Representative Experience

We successfully defended a private higher education institution on breach of contract claims brought by tenured faculty members in connection with a program closure.
