Education

From public school districts to independent schools, colleges and universities, Miles & Stockbridge represents a wide range of educational institutions, providing sound legal and business counsel that helps each institution achieve its business goals and further its respective mission.

We represent nationally-lauded universities in the procurement of patents that protect and commercialize the value of their research and discoveries. We also regularly counsel institutions on the full range of legal opportunities and challenges prevalent in the industry, from labor and employment law to general corporate matters. We serve as counsel to numerous independent schools. Our lawyers utilize our extensive knowledge in tax-exempt financing to help educational institutions develop and build facilities in a cost-advantageous manner. We are also experienced in handling transactions involving the purchase and sale of for-profit educational service companies. Other critical areas of experience include advising on foreign education exchanges and on the protection of the tax-exempt status of nonprofit institutions.
