A NEW DAY ON CAMPUS FOR TITLE IX
External Services Experienced HMBR attorneys are available to provide specific external services relating to the investigation and adjudication process. Upon request, we can offer these services on a flat fee basis to assist schools in budgeting costs for these processes.
We serve in the following roles:
• Investigators
• Hearing Officers
• University-appointed advisors
• Mediators
• Training Providers
Representation HMBR has provided successful representation to numerous colleges and universities on matters pending before the U.S. Department of Education.
We advocate for our clients directly with various Department offices -- OCR, Federal Student Assistance (FSA), and the Offices of the Inspector General and the General Counsel on Title IX, Clery Act, Title IV funding and related issues. We also offer expert behind-the-scenes advice for our clients for working with the Department. We have used our expertise and first-hand experience with the Department to obtain excellent results for our clients, including the resolution of OCR Title IX investigations and changes to proposed FSA findings and fines.
Independent Consultants
HMBR attorneys frequently serve as an independent third-party consultant for colleges and universities on Title IX and Clery Act matters. We provide comprehensive and objective assessments of an institution’s policies, procedures and practices. These assessments can be extremely valuable both for the institution and its community, and also to demonstrate compliance to federal and state officials.
