Ritzert & Leyton is a Washington area law firm that offers institutions of higher education of all types a unique combination of experience and expertise in the highly specialized and regulated areas of federal student financial assistance, accreditation, licensure, corporate and tax related matters and mergers and acquisitions of postsecondary institutions from both a corporate and regulated industry perspective. R&L works with applicable laws, regulations and procedures and the offices and people who regulate institutions on a daily basis. When necessary, it also engages in defensive work on behalf of institutions before regulatory bodies and in federal and state court. R&L prides itself, however, on assisting institutions to confront and resolve difficult issues and to navigate the regulatory process in order to manage and avoid problems.
