What we do
Five ways institutions put us to work, across Title IX, Title VI, Title VII, ADA and Section 504, and the Clery Act. Every one of them ends in a record that someone else will eventually read.
Services
Investigations
Neutral, trauma-informed investigations built to survive review, including privileged matters engaged through counsel and matters already in progress.
Learn moreFractional leadership
Senior coordination held from inside the institution, at deputy, full seat, or director level.
Learn moreCertified training
Custom institutional training and open programs, built from live casework.
Learn moreExpert witness services
Independent testimony and consulting support on compliance practice and process standards.
Learn moreThe Knowledge Hub
The working reference behind the practice: regulatory intelligence, decision frameworks, case studies, and the instruments we use, by membership.
Learn moreOur frameworks
Title IX, Title VI, Title VII, ADA and Section 504, and the Clery Act. What each requires, and what to do when more than one governs a matter.
Learn moreOnePointe
Case management for intake, investigations, timelines, and reporting. A separate company and a separate site.
Learn moreHow we engage
The same sequence whether the work is a single investigation or a standing seat.
Before we start
-
A scoping conversation
Free, and usually short. We look at the portfolio you are carrying, the exposure you are managing, and the seat you need covered, then tell you plainly whether we are the right firm for it.
-
Conflicts and scope in writing
A conflicts check runs before anything substantive. Scope, deliverables, fees, retention, and confidentiality are set in an engagement letter or a sector-specific service agreement.
-
Screening before contact
Every practitioner working under our name is background screened before touching an engagement, and we will meet any further screening your institution requires.
While we hold it
-
The work
Documented as it happens rather than reconstructed afterward, to the standard a hearing officer, opposing counsel, or the Office for Civil Rights would apply.
When it ends
-
Handover and retention
Files transfer as confidential institutional records and are retained per the engagement letter, typically seven years, then destroyed with a certificate issued.
Commercial terms
Published, so you can price the work before you call.
- Sector schedules
- Three: PK-12, higher education, and workplace. Each is published separately.
- Agreements
- Sector-specific rather than one document with three schedules, so the terms match the institution signing them.
- Discount and rate lock
- Signing an agreement earns 15 percent off general services and locks the rate for the term. It does not stack on the PK-12 schedule.
- Invoicing
- Through Stripe, payable by card or ACH. A 5 percent processing fee applies to card payment; ACH, wire, and check carry none. Institutional check or wire is available on engagements of $25,000 or more.
- Payment terms
- Net 30, or net 60 where your procurement requires it. Past-due invoices accrue interest at 9 percent a year.
- Insurance
- $2,000,000 each claim and $2,000,000 aggregate, written through Hiscox as of August 2026, alongside general liability, cyber, and media coverage. Certificates provided on request.
- Disputes
- Non-binding JAMS mediation first, then binding JAMS arbitration. Governing law is Delaware.
What we do not do
We are a civil rights compliance firm, not a law firm. We do not give legal advice, guarantee outcomes, take contingency work, or serve as a party’s litigator. Our practitioners act as mandatory reporters in every engagement regardless of how a state classifies the role. We commit to the quality of the process, not to a result.
