The Office of the General Counsel represents the System as a corporate entity in legal matters. The office
supports the mission of the University by handling all legal matters generated by the activities of the University,
including its schools, departments, operating units and subsidiaries, and by initiating action to forestall problems and
manage risks. All matters requiring legal advice or legal action should be referred to the Office of the General Counsel.

The OGC's clients are the Board of Regents and the employees of the University of Houston System acting in their
