Attorney, Education Law Practice
Email

Nathan Fall is an attorney in Caplan & Earnest’s School Law practice who represents public school systems and other public entities on legal issues that arise in complex and highly regulated environments. Nathan supports clients in the areas of employment and labor matters, public sector governance, contracts, compliance, civil rights, Title IX, public records, safety and security, policy development and implementation, student data privacy, and litigation management. 

Nathan brings a practical understanding of the day-to-day demands facing public school districts and other public entities. Before joining Caplan & Earnest, Nathan served as Legal Counsel for Greeley-Evans School District 6 in Northern Colorado, where he led the district’s Legal, Compliance, Title IX, and Risk Management departments and advised district leadership on complex legal, governance, operational, and policy matters.  

In that role, he worked closely with board members, administrators, employee groups, and government stakeholders to address strategic and legal challenges, support district initiatives, and advance the district’s educational mission. He also helped develop and implement district policies, procedures, and other organization-wide initiatives.  

Nathan began his legal career as a judicial law clerk for the Honorable Susan Blanco of the Eighth Judicial District of Colorado. During law school, he served as a legal intern with Colorado Education Association and the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights. These experiences reinforced his commitment to serve schools, support public education, and help educational institutions navigate complex legal issues. 

Nathan’s experience working inside a school district gives him particular insight into the intersection of legal compliance, policy implementation, employee relations, student rights, board governance, politics, and district operations. 

Outside of work, Nathan enjoys spending time outside with family and friends. He also likes to cook, but mostly likes to just eat or think about food.
