FAQs

What sets Clark Hill apart?

We are nationally recognized and have represented faculty and administrators at public and private colleges and universities throughout the United States in disciplinary matters, in litigation, and in providing strategic advice. We are sophisticated lawyers who have litigated cases around the country and backed by a firm of commercial litigators. Collectively we have practiced across the country at the highest levels of our profession, both Title IX and campus discipline law as well as complex commercial litigation.

We understand that your professional livelihood and reputation are on the line whenever you face an accusation of any sort of misconduct or discrimination. Though there is no one-size-fits-all approach, our strategy is focused on bringing the matter to the quickest possible resolution without sacrificing the time and effort necessary to defend against allegations and, if you have been removed from your classroom or your lab, to get you back to your work as soon as possible. Our lawyers have expertise in employment matters, contract and tenure rights, and issues of academic freedom, which many times are at-issue in any disciplinary matter.

Why should you hire an attorney?

When faculty or administrators come to us after having attempted to navigate the disciplinary system on their own, we have too often seen that they have been denied important procedural rights, have not been treated fairly, or have gotten adverse results not justified by the record. Because any accusation against you could mean the end of employment, seeking legal advice and guidance early on will usually be the best way to protect your future.

Should I hire a Title IX attorney early in the process?

Yes. If we are retained early in the disciplinary process, we are able to work with you to develop a plan and maximize the chances of a “not responsible” finding, whether at the close of an investigatory process or after a hearing. If we are retained later in the process, we are more limited in the options we have available to help you. However, if you have already been found responsible at a preliminary stage or after a hearing, depending on the relevant procedures, we may be able to prepare written submissions for reconsideration or for appeal. We can also negotiate with university counsel to modify an outcome or mitigate proposed sanctions.

Do I need an employment attorney?

Most university matters involving an allegation of misconduct or discrimination could potentially affect your contract or employment rights, tenure or right to future tenure, government grants, or your rights under faculty or employment code. Ideally, any attorney who would help advocate for you in a disciplinary process, would have experience in all of these areas and not just in employment law. Our attorneys have a variety of relevant experience and knowledge in matters that impact Title IX and campus discipline cases, backed by years of experience practicing in a wide variety of jurisdictions.

What can I do to protect my reputation?

When you are accused of misconduct or discrimination, your reputation is at risk even if you are ultimately cleared. As part of our holistic approach, we work closely with crisis communications and reputation management consultants to ensure that both your legal issues and reputation are being considered. These individuals have a depth of experience in areas such as crisis preparedness and response, message development, reputation and position, and risk mitigation. We work closely with crisis communications and reputation management consultants to ensure that both your legal matter and reputation are both being considered.
