Emilia Beskind, a partner at our firm, has been recognized for her experience in Title IX matters, particularly in the context of collegiate athletics. Recently, she was sought out by WRAL News to provide legal insight into the ongoing allegations involving Shaw University’s women’s basketball program. In an April 2025 interview, Beskind offered a comprehensive explanation of how Title IX applies to such cases, emphasizing the importance of a “preponderance of the evidence” standard in university investigations. She also highlighted the complexities involved in determining whether a single incident or a pattern of behavior constitutes sexual harassment under Title IX.

At our firm, we pride ourselves on having partners like Beskind who are not only skilled litigators but also trusted subject matter experts. Her ability to clarify intricate legal concepts for the public underscores our commitment to providing insightful and accessible legal counsel.
