OUR APPROACH
We help clients reach informed and equitable solutions to complex issues. We approach our work with the highest level of integrity and impartiality. We practice emotional intelligence in all our interactions.
Aleta Law was established as a boutique investigations and resolutions law firm. Our team has developed a national reputation for providing organizations with objective, thorough, and equitable investigation and decision-making services. While we are often sought out to handle high-profile and complex investigations and hearings for institutions, we treat every case with the same level of sensitivity, diligence, and objectivity.
Our team of attorneys works with colleges, universities, K-12 schools, athletic organizations, nonprofits and private companies nationwide. We regularly handle allegations involving Title IX sexual harassment or other sexual misconduct, child abuse, domestic/intimate partner violence, stalking, discrimination and harassment based on protected classes (including race, religion, disability), hazing, bullying, and boundary/power imbalance violations, among other types of misconduct. Our skill and training allow us to conduct equitable and reliable investigations whenever an individual or institution is accused of misconduct.
We have a depth of experience that only comes with having conducted and overseen thousands of investigations and hearings. Because we have advised and/or worked in-house at educational institutions, we understand the unique challenges and dynamics that our clients and participants face in these difficult cases. And because we know that as leaders we never stop being learners, we continue to educate ourselves and our clients as industry and regulatory standards evolve and change. Finally, we know, through years of practice, that we earn the trust of clients and participants in investigation and resolution processes by being fair and respectful, and delivering sound, supported findings.
While it is our job to ask questions, we spend most of our time listening in order to understand what occurred in each unique situation. Above all, we ensure that fairness and impartiality guide all our investigations and decisions. We use a team-based approach to gather and evaluate evidence in an objective and equitable manner. By doing so, we deliver investigation reports and decisions that are reliable, thorough, and unbiased. And, if litigation should arise, we testify at trial and defend our investigative findings in court in a manner that can withstand scrutiny.
In addition to our investigation and hearing services, we provide a range of legal and consulting services to institutions on Title IX and civil rights issues, including customized training programs, policy drafting, external reviews, expert witness services, and informal resolution facilitation.
