This episode is part of our “Bridging Campuses: Legal
Insights on Education Industry Consolidation” series, where we
discuss trends in higher education consolidation and closures, and
outline common characteristics of at-risk institutions.
In today’s episode, we consider the importance of advanced
planning in relation to labor, employment, and benefits, to comply
with legal obligations and navigate obstacles. We discuss
unionization and collective bargaining agreements, the risks of
failing to properly administer employee benefit plans, and the
differences between affiliations and mergers in terms of the impact
on employee benefit plans.
Bill Rhodes, a partner and leader of Ballard Spahr’s
Education Industry Team, hosts the discussion. Bill is joined by
Meredith Dante, a partner in Ballard’s Labor and Employment
Group, and Finn Pressly, a partner in Ballard’s Employee
Benefits and Executive Compensation Group.
A transcript of the recording will be available
soon.
