Colleges, universities, secondary schools, and individuals look to Cloherty & Steinberg LLP to represent them across a broad range of education-related matters.  

We understand the complexities that schools face when navigating legal issues, and we appreciate that it is crucial to maintain the school’s core values while vigorously defending the institution and its agents.  For over a decade, we have represented Boston-area educational institutions in court and behind the scenes.  Our expertise extends to nearly all aspects of college and university legal matters — including Title IX litigation, disciplinary matters, employment disputes, government investigations, defamation cases, intellectual property, subpoena responses, and contract actions, among many others.

We also represent individuals who find themselves in disputes related to an educational institution.  Whether targeted for alleged wrongdoing or called as witnesses in an unfamiliar proceeding, faculty and staff at educational institutions, as well as students, turn to Cloherty & Steinberg LLP to help them understand their rights and obligations and guide them to the best possible outcome.  We understand that in the context of disputes with educational institutions, not only is your education or career at stake, so too may be your finances, future professional opportunities, and reputation.
