ABOUT JEFFREY METZLER
I help educational institutions and other clients navigate high-stakes civil rights defense, compliance risk, and litigation challenges with clarity and strategic judgment.As co-leader of Pillsbury’s Education practice, I focus on matters where institutions face complex legal exposure — including Title IX and discrimination disputes, appellate advocacy, governance issues, and investigations. I also partner with senior leadership on DEI and compliance risk assessments that provide practical frameworks for risk mitigation and defensible decision-making.Before Pillsbury, I served as Associate General Counsel at NYU, where I oversaw litigation, government investigations, and student affairs, and in senior government roles including Assistant Solicitor General for New York State and Acting General Counsel for the New York City Council.I write and speak regularly on legal developments affecting higher education, DEI compliance, and institutional risk, and I’m ranked in Chambers USA for higher education law.
