Compliance & Culture

Imprint Legal Group Logo

Imprint Legal Group is a law and consulting firm with a diverse team of experts in diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) and civil rights laws. We partner with businesses and schools nationwide to create legally compliant, inclusive organizations.

Legal Services

  • As attorneys, we’ve spent decades reacting to lawsuits and complaints that occur when someone feels discriminated against in their workplace or school.

    But as DEI practitioners, we know that proactive conversations around difficult topics like race, disability, or aging can reduce the risk of costly litigation and create more inclusive spaces.

    Imprint Legal Group’s diverse attorneys and consultants spent months strategizing and landed on one goal:

    Create an enjoyable, evidence-based program to develop culturally competent leaders.

    Our unique program, Curious Conversations, is based on three principles: fun, focus, and food.

  • We bring decades of experience in discrimination, harassment, and bullying investigations and defense, helping schools and workplaces navigate complex issues while minimizing the impact on their personal and professional lives.

    Imprint Legal Group’s diverse team allows us to uniquely process protected class discrimination and harassment complaints like no other law firm. If a sexual harassment complaint is filed, our team includes all genders, all sexual orientations, and attorneys who represent plaintiffs and defendants. We look at all angles, from all perspectives to provide comprehensive legal advice to organizations facing issues related to protected class status race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, physical or mental disability, conviction record, military status, citizenship status, and arrest record.

  • Imprint Legal Group offers tailored workshops, keynote speeches, professional development, and training services focused on laws around protected classes and diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice.

    We use humor, lived experiences, research-based instructional approaches, and legal acumen to empower individuals and organizations with the tools to create a more inclusive and equitable workplace.

  • We identify and analyze potential risks that could impact your organization's goals, and take steps to mitigate or prevent them.

    This involves developing strategies to minimize risk exposure, such as drafting and implementing policies and procedures, conducting regular assessments, and staying up-to-date on legal and regulatory changes.

    Ask about our fixed-rate subscription fee options for concierge legal services “at your beck and call” (particularly helpful for special education and Title IX issues).

  • We help implement strategies and processes to effectively manage and adapt to changes within the organization. This includes identifying potential risks, communicating changes to employees, and ensuring smooth transitions while maintaining legal compliance. The goal is to minimize the negative impact of changes and optimize the benefits of new initiatives.

What our clients have said

  • “The most approachable lawyer I’ve ever listened to."

    Jessica delivers legal analysis in a dynamic, clear way that feels empowering. Plus she made me laugh out loud several times. Please have her back.

    – L.D., Director of Student Services

  • "I really thought I was going to have to give up who I was."

    I feel kinda bad now about the shit I talked before you got here. When [the boss] said we were having DEI training, I KNEW I’d be in the crosshairs as the straight white dude. You guys were NOT like that at all. My wife did not believe me when I said I kinda had fun after the 1st meeting. I didn’t realize how much of this work was slowing down my thought process and listening better.

    -R.K., participant in Culturally Competent Leadership Workshop

  • "Having Imprint as our external investigators was the best move we made on this Title IX complaint."

    I have appreciated your approach to this investigation so much. Your weekly updates are helpful and calm everyone down. Our general counsel wouldn’t have, or couldn’t have, the conversations you had with [the Complainant] and get them to understand the process.

    – M.B., Superintendent of K-12 schools

  • "Jessica's style is so approachable."

    It’s hard to pick one important thing that I’ll share with others, as it was all vitally important information. I really liked that Jessica shared ideas for how to respond when situations arise. Giving talking points was really helpful.

    – W.C., Social worker

  • “This professional development was the perfect mix of knowledge, professionalism, and humor!”

    Talking about transgender and non-binary students is a difficult topic, especially to an audience that isn’t prone to understand, but somehow you managed to make this informative and enjoyable. Your ease put everyone else at ease. Our school year and our students will be better off because of this workshop.

    – B.W., School Counselor

  • "Hearing you break down and effectively translate this mess of statutes, regulations, and case law was invaluable."

    All three presenters did a great job to put things in a practical light and perspective for school administrators. Your delivery was impeccable.

    -J.S., General Counsel for K-12 school boards

  • "I appreciate each of you trusting us and sharing authentically in this space."

    Thank you for making this very sensitive and important topic [gender-diverse students in K-12 schools] accessible and relatable. I was able to understand and relate... so many intersections for me as a Black woman.

    -S.B., Assistant Superintendent of Diversity and Equity for K-12 School

  • "I found Jessica engaging and interesting. Shelly and Kacey held my attention. Maria's research was fascinating."

    Basically, the facilitators were great, highly qualified and experienced. They did a FABULOUS JOB!

    -L.T., participant in Culturally Competent Leadership Workshop

Imprint Legal Group’s approach to legal services is unconventional and refreshing: We prioritize building strong relationships with our clients so we can collaborate in crafting proactive, personalized solutions. 

Women- and minority-owned, all of our attorneys and legal consultants represent at least one historically marginalized identity and have practiced law representing plaintiffs, defendants, or in academia. Our diverse perspectives are our strength. Our team of attorneys and consultants isn’t interested in “fixing” your problem and leaving; we bring our skills, experiences, warmth, and passion to empower our clients in creating a lasting effect. You might even call it… leaving an imprint.
