Document Preparation and Procedures Review
School operations and procedures must be carefully designed, drafted, and periodically reviewed. These include policies, contracts, handbooks, and official letters. Lex-IS can help by reviewing, revising, and drafting these materials to help reduce risks of confusion, conflict, and liability.
Investigations, Conflict Resolution, Negotiations, and Hearings
To help reach a decision, analyze a problem or resolve a conflict, Lex-IS can conduct objective, prompt, thorough, and fair negotiations, investigations, mediation, dispute resolution, and informal adjudication services.
