Campus & Title IX Investigations

We offer Title IX investigations of claims of sex discrimination, gender-based and sexual harassment, sexual assault, stalking, and intimate partner violence.

Title IX law is a rapidly evolving challenge for educational institutions across the country, and investigations are increasingly common. We conduct them with the impartial perspective so crucial to all parties. Through our experience in workplace investigations, we have honed our objective acumen over many years and diverse cases.

We treat these highly sensitive situations with dignity and discretion, following due process and fundamental fairness principles as appropriate. To ensure investigations comply with Title IX and applicable legal standards, we stay on top of the rapidly evolving law.

We bring our years of experience in workplace investigations to Title IX cases, treating interviewees with respect, surfacing information with tact, and navigating sensitive matters to address subtle, nuanced issues. Our findings are carefully reasoned, well supported, and documented in comprehensive investigative reports. Every step of the way, we ensure equitable treatment through investigations that are prompt, thorough, impartial, and reliable.
