Cincinnati Lawyers Representing Educational Institutions

At Beckman Weil Shepardson LLC, we have a history of representing educational institutions since our law firm was founded in 1967. Our clients include Ohio colleges and universities like Xavier University, Cincinnati State Technical and Community College, Shawnee State University and Central State University.

Many specialized federal and state laws apply to educational institutions. These laws affect all aspects of campus life, including employment law and labor issues, student sports, liability of injuries, transfer of information and the duties of campus security. We use years of knowledge and experience to handle these matters effectively.

We are well equipped to help you achieve the best possible results in a wide variety of issues affecting colleges and universities under the law:

  • Student rights/student discipline
  • Issues of student information under FERPA
  • Negotiation of NCAA issues affecting student athletes
  • Liability issues with respect to student activities
  • Campus police rights and responsibilities
  • Staff and faculty policies and procedures
  • Real estate financing and development
