About the Higher Education Team

Steptoe & Johnson Higher Education Team attorneys have held leadership positions at both colleges and universities or served as members of governing boards at the state and institutional level. With substantial experience and knowledge, our higher education attorneys understand the challenges college and university leaders face, and strive to provide groundbreaking solutions.

 

With new technological developments, aging infrastructures, and enhanced regulatory and policy concerns, the landscape of higher education is undergoing significant changes. Higher education leaders predict that many institutions will cease to exist unless their current business models are altered.

 

As higher education institutions operate under strict guidelines, our attorneys understand how imperative it is to remain up-to-date on continually evolving policies and principles.
