Akin‘s education practice is well-placed to advise clients on a range of education matters, among them policy issues, internal investigations, Title IX obligations, data privacy, and litigation. Washington DC-based Michael Vernick steers the practice and has recently focused on matters such as foreign influence over U.S. government funded research, scientific misconduct investigations, and conflict of interest issues, in addition to advising on the financial and administrative management of grants. Additional key contacts in Washington DC include Marta Thompson, who represents clients involved in government audits, and allegations of misconduct and fraud, and Anthony Pierce, who litigates education disputes and defends clients from class actions.
