Areas of expertise

NLLG attorneys have extensive experience designing and conducting internal investigations involving complex organizations and sensitive issues. NLLG attorneys conducted an investigation commissioned by the trustees of a Big 10 university into the school’s response to the sexual assault of a female athlete by several male athletes, which resulted in the firing of high-level university officials and the indictment of several athletes. In addition, NLLG attorneys were hired by the regents of a Big 12 university to investigate the administration's response to a sexual assault of a student, which led to an overhaul of the university's approach to sexual crimes on campus. NLLG attorneys also served on the Title IX panel and related investigative team at another Big 12 university system. Other engagements have involved complex financial investigations into higher education and non-profit organizations to determine compliance with fiduciary duties, as well as comprehensive efforts involving financial due diligence, auditing and forensic accounting of a range of for-profit assets that comprised a private multi-billion-dollar portfolio.
