Investor Support -

Education is a dynamic and highly-regulated industry. For investment firms with interests in higher education institutions, understanding this complex and ever-changing landscape is critical to making informed decisions and protecting long-term value.

At HLG, we combine deep knowledge of higher ed law and regulations with practical business insight to advise private equity groups, venture capital firms, and other investment partners.

HLG performs regulatory due diligence that comprehensively assesses compliance risks associated with federal requirements, state regulations, and accreditor procedures.

In addition, HLG guides acquisitions, mergers, and partnerships involving colleges, universities, and education providers and assists portfolio companies in establishing and maintaining reliable compliance programs to mitigate future enforcement risk.

HLG offers investment firms not only higher ed expertise, but also a practical understanding of how regulators function — and how to maximize opportunities while minimizing regulatory exposure.
