With accusations of sexual misconduct against one of its professors dating back more than a decade getting widespread publicity, Central Connecticut State University turned to the powerhouse firm of Shipman & Goodwin to investigate.

The firm is more than 90 years old and has 170 attorneys in offices in Connecticut, New York and Washington, D.C. Its investigation, which is in its early stages, has already required Shipman & Goodwin attorneys to interview more than a dozen people and review thousands of documents.
