Biography

Nick Roumel is a trial lawyer with over 30 years experience in state and federal courts. He focuses on plaintiff's employment and civil rights litigation, as well as educational law matters, such as Title IX sex harassment, assault, and retaliation, as well as serious personal injury in the educational setting. He is recognized as a Thompson-Reuters "Super Lawyer" in employment litigation, reserved for the top 5% of attorneys in that field.

Mr. Roumel has represented numerous high profile athletes and artists; victims of domestic and sexual violence; and students expelled for exercising constitutional rights. He has been appointed for various matters by courts, to act as a receiver for a corporation, and to mediate other cases.

Mr. Roumel also has an active appellate practice, winning reversals in matters as diverse as pregnancy discrimination, unemployment compensation, the application of discrimination laws to religious schools, Family Medical Leave Act, False Claims Act retaliation, criminal restitution, and the landlord-tenant security deposit act.

Mr. Roumel has published and presented on matters including the immigration consequences of criminal convictions, disclosure and consequences of criminal records, tort remedies for married and other domestic partners, and educational matters such as bullying, Title IX and teen suicide. He has been quoted, and his cases featured, in local media, Newsweek, the Economist, and ESPN, among others.

Mr. Roumel is a former professor at the University of Michigan, where he taught employment law, and has also been a frequent guest panelist, lecturer, and Moot Court judge at Michigan and other law schools, and has frequently presented to college and high school classes.
