Attorney Areas of Expertise

The UW System attorneys have expertise and practice in a number of general legal subject areas, such as discrimination law and employment law. Because higher education law is complex, Office of General Counsel attorneys also specialize in certain areas. Click on any of the topics below to find the contact information for an attorney who specializes in that particular area; an asterisk denotes topics in which any attorney can advise.

*Any OGC attorney can be contacted on this topic.
