Steptoe & Johnson's Education Law Team is experienced in working with public and private educators to help them find effective solutions to legal challenges that they face every day. Team members are familiar with educators' needs as well as the legal climate in which they must operate and provide counsel that is proactive as well as cost effective.

Some areas of extensive experience include employment-related counseling, litigating employment-related disputes in state and federal courts, handling employee grievances, responding to complaints filed with the West Virginia Human Rights Commission, investigating sexual harassment complaints in both the student and employment context, litigating special education due process claims both at the administrative level and on appeal, mediations, and writing and reviewing policies.

Team members possess a broad variety of specialized legal knowledge, and regularly partner with other Steptoe & Johnson attorneys to assist clients with specialized matters important to educational entities such as real estate transactions, bond issues, tax and compliance issues, and employee benefits and compensation.
