Amy Piccola
Partner, Saul Ewing Arnstein & Lehr
Amy Piccola is a partner in Saul Ewing LLP’s higher education practice. Amy works with institutions of higher education to assess and respond to issues of compliance, policy, and liability, particularly with regard to student and faculty conduct matters, Title IX, Title VI, and other civil rights statutes, and the Clery Act. Amy also advises education clients on athletics issues, including with respect to the shifting Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) landscape and esports on campus. Amy both provides proactive assistance—drafting handbooks and policies on issues ranging from sexual harassment and hazing to cyberbullying and program and department operations, and providing on-campus training to administrators, judicial boards, and others in university and college communities regarding implementation of those policies—and manages institutions’ responses to U.S. Department of Education and OCR investigations and complaints. Whatever the issue, Amy draws on her litigation experience to assist colleges and universities in identifying escalating issues, managing high-profile exposure, and proactively developing, and providing training on, policies and procedures to minimize risk.
