Colleges and universities face complex and ever-changing legislation and regulations pertaining to their workplace. Disputes with employees are also a regular concern. Holmes & Associates assists higher education institutions in navigating all forms of discrimination claims; all forms of harassment claims; Americans with Disabilities Act; Equal Pay Act claims; and successfully terminating employment relationships. We conduct thorough and independent internal investigations into critical and often highly sensitive matters relating to potential wrongdoing within organizations. We work quickly and effectively to deliver critical information to boards of trustees, audit committees, legal counsel, senior management, and other key stakeholders.
