Legal and Regulatory Counsel
Foresight's public and private sector clients take on complex education challenges and lead sophisticated organizations and enterprises. Their success requires legal know-how and insight and we help them understand the education, nonprofit, privacy, civil rights, and other laws and regulations that are central to achieving their goals.
