Higher Education

We support our colleges and universities.

Mayo Mallette is a full-service education firm that has worked with nearly every college and university in Mississippi. We have decades of experience supporting in-house counsel at colleges and universities and working with the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL) Board of Trustees. Mayo Mallette has a thorough understanding of the often-complicated laws and procedures that govern both public and private institutions within the state. The firm’s in-depth knowledge of other legal issues — including corporate and small business law, employment law, litigation, municipal law, and real estate and development law — means we bring a deep bench to every college and university we serve. 

Mayo Mallette’s work for our higher education clients includes counsel on everything from sophisticated public records requests to employee contracts to complex litigation matters related to civil rights, tenure disputes, employee discrimination claims, collegiate sports disputes and controversies, Title IX issues, and student disciplinary hearings.
