Office of General Counsel

About our office

The Office of the General Counsel coordinates and supervises all legal services for ÃÛÑ¿TV by providing timely legal guidance; addressing existing and potential legal problems; reducing exposure to legal risk; and helping University units effectively and efficiently achieve their objectives.

The University is our client, but our legal services are provided to the Board of Trustees, the President, University Officers, deans and heads of academic units, department heads, or other designated representatives of the University. We provide legal advice and representation to those employees acting within the scope of their duties, but we cannot provide personal legal advice to any individual.
