Higher Education

Our focus on Higher Education has created the opportunity for Norchi, Barrett & Forbes to work with some the leading Northeast Ohio educational institutions. We have defended institutions in significant litigation involving employment, premises liability, professional liability and Civil Rights claims.

Kevin Norchi and Lisa Barrett have taken the lead in growing this unique practice area. They are frequent guest speakers and consultants in the areas of:

Through our relationship with higher education leaders, we recognize the ongoing need for specialized training programs which respond to campus safety and security issues.
