Virginia Title IX Defense Attorneys

At Honor Law Firm, our experienced Virginia Title IX attorneys represent clients nationwide.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits sex-based discrimination in any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. This includes areas such as admissions, athletics, academic programs, scholarships, and employment. Whether you’re a student, faculty member, or staff, Title IX protects you from gender-based discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. Common violations include:

• Sexual Harassment: Unwelcome sexual advances, inappropriate requests, or offensive remarks related to a person’s sex.
• Sexual Assault: Any sexual contact without clear, mutual consent.
• Gender Discrimination: Unfair treatment based on gender, including disparities in athletic opportunities or discriminatory practices in educational programs.
• Retaliation: Punitive actions taken against individuals who report or participate in investigations related to Title IX violations.
• Hostile Environment: Persistent discriminatory conduct that interferes with a person's ability to fully participate in or benefit from educational programs.

Filing a Title IX Complaint:

If you believe you’ve experienced a violation of Title IX, it's important to act quickly. Educational institutions are required to investigate complaints promptly and fairly, providing the opportunity for both parties to present their case. The process can be complex, and having legal support ensures your rights are properly protected throughout.
