A Message from the WhitbeckBennett Family
Greetings!
My name is Jenniffer DeNigris and I began working with Whitbeck Bennett as an Attorney in April, 2022. I primarily work out of the Leesburg office and have enjoyed getting to know the amazing team in place over the last few months.
Joining Whitbeck Bennett has been one of the best decisions of my professional career. The care and support that is shown for clients is unmatched. This is the approach that I bring to my client relationships. I provide a caring approach, to help my clients achieve their desired goal while knowing they have an advocate on their side.

BLOG HIGHLIGHT
The Education Amendments of 1972 include Title IX, which strictly prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex for any academic institution that receives Federal funding.
Almost every academic or educational program receives federal funding. While Title IX can seem simple, Guidance from the U.S. Department of Education, and Supreme Court decisions, have broadened the Title IX scope since 1972 to include sexual harassment and sexual violence.
