NCAA • Higher Education • Governance
Counsel for institutions navigating high-stakes rules.
Justin C. Stewart helps universities, athletic programs, financial institutions, and regulated organizations turn complex obligations into practical decisions.
Focused counsel
Three connected areas. One institution-aware perspective.
The work sits at the intersection of law, policy, governance, and the people responsible for carrying them out.
NCAA Compliance
Interpret legislation, strengthen monitoring, train stakeholders, and respond to changing institutional risk.
Higher Education Law
Address legal and policy questions shaped by academic structures, athletics, and student-centered operations.
Risk Governance & Controls
Translate obligations into controls, reporting lines, escalation paths, and defensible operating frameworks.
Beyond a legal memo
Advice designed to work inside the institution.
Strong compliance advice must account for who owns a decision, how information moves, which controls already exist, and where accountability can break down.
Justin combines legal training with direct experience in academic, athletic, and corporate compliance environments.
The operating environment matters
Rules become meaningful when they can be understood, owned, and applied.
