Higher Education

Our focus on Higher Education has created the opportunity for Norchi Forbes to work with some of the leading educational institutions in the region. 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:

• Vulnerability Assessment
• Crisis Response
• Contemporary Law Enforcement Issues
• Risk Management
• Litigation Strategies

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

Norchi Forbes is now offering to our clients a series of workshops specifically designed to address campus preparedness and responsiveness. Below is a list of the current topics for these seminars:

• Fourth Amendment Issues
• Risk Assessment and School Violence Liability
• Section §1983
• Clery Act / Timely Warnings
• Lessons Learned from Virginia Tech
