“Insight. Integrity. Experience.”

Hamilton-Derrom Consulting offers specialized guidance in two areas: higher education consulting and canon law advocacy and representation.

For research universities and graduate schools, I support:

• Academic effectiveness and program review

• Financial stewardship and resource alignment

• Policy development and governance clarity

• Legal interpretation within institutional frameworks

I help institutions clarify priorities, reduce policy ambiguity, and align decisions with mission and accreditation expectations.

For clients navigating Roman Catholic canonical processes, I provide:

• Advocacy and strategic counsel

• Judicial representation

• Canonical brief writing

My approach is informed, professional, and ethical, grounded in a deep expertise in Roman Catholic canon law.

Hamilton-Derrom Consulting bridges academic, legal, and canonical disciplines to help institutions and individuals move forward with clarity and confidence.

Why “Hamilton-Derrom Consulting”?

Principal Consultant David Long based the firm’s name on the examples of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton and Colonel Andrew Derrom, an English-American civil engineer, industrialist, inventor, and military officer.

Both Alexander Hamilton and Andrew Derrom were key contributors to the successes of Paterson, New Jersey, David’s hometown.
