Office of Legal Affairs and Labor Relations

The Office of Legal Affairs and Labor Relations provides professional quality legal services to the College on all matters having legal significance to the management and operation of the institution. While providing counsel toward sound decision-making in all areas of instruction, research and service, we strive to minimize legal risks and costs, reduce litigation, and ensure compliance with state and federal laws, as well as University policies and procedures. We are committed to act with integrity, reason, and knowledge of the law in support of the educational environment at Brooklyn College. The office also manages employee grievances and disciplinary proceedings, advocating for and representing Brooklyn College at appeal hearings and arbitration, and collaborating with CUNY to ensure compliance with personnel policies. The office also serves the College’s Records Access Officer and Ethics Officer.

Note

The Office of General Counsel does not provide personal legal advice or representation to CUNY faculty members, staff or students. If you need an attorney for personal matters please see the following link to the ‘Legal Assistance Resource Information‘ – which is a list of free or reduced cost legal services in non-criminal legal matters in the New York City Metropolitan area.
