Clark Hill PLC Launches Comprehensive Title IX Compliance and Investigation Services

DETROIT, MI – Today, Clark Hill announced the launch of its Title IX Compliance and Investigation Services team. From conducting complex investigations and facilitating trainings, to offering guidance on compliance intricacies, Clark Hill’s roster of ATIXA nationally-certified attorneys is experienced and positioned to address the particular needs of educational institutions. Clark Hill’s Education and Labor and Employment Practice Groups have combined more than 100 years of expertise to form this inter-disciplinary team that offers a broad range of services to K-12 schools, colleges, and universities as part of its Title IX practice, including:

All schools receiving federal funds are required to comply with Title IX’s mandates.

Attorneys in Clark Hill's Education and Labor and Employment Practice Groups represent educational organizations in all aspects of education and labor and employment law. “Our mission is to provide clients with practical, cost-effective, winning solutions to their education, labor, and employment issues,” said Practice Group Leader Paul Boehms.  “We couple experienced legal talent with a strong emphasis on prompt and open communication with clients. As education entities strive to remain compliant with Title IX regulations, our team offers counsel and practical solutions, including effective management of litigation and non-litigation matters.”
