Cohen Seglias Pallas Greenhall & Furman

The department at Cohen Seglias Pallas Greenhall & Furman centers its focus on the defense of research misconduct allegations, allegations against students, and Title IX matters. The team routinely represents individuals and institutions in investigations involving alleged plagiarism, data falsification, and grant and research fraud. The practice is co-directed by a trio of experienced partners. Working from Washington DC, Paul Thaler assists colleges, universities, hospitals, and other research institutions with research misconduct mandates; co-leading from the same office, Shanlon Wu focuses on college student defense, often dealing with cases involving alcohol violations, cyberbullying, and cheating. Lauded as an ‘exceptional attorney’, the Philadelphia-based Ashling Ehrhardt completes the leadership group and handles litigation, investigations, and the review university policies to ensure compliance with federal, state and local regulations.
