Akin Cross-Practice Team Earns Am Law ‘Litigator of the Week’ Shout-Out
Akin Supreme Court & appellate partner James Tysse and health care & life sciences partner Kelly Cleary and the team they led have earned a Litigator of the Week “shout-out” from The American Lawyer Litigation Daily.
The team was recognized for its action on behalf of client Ardent Health Services Inc. that resulted in a U.S. District Judge in Texas ordering the government to process Ardent’s application for millions of dollars in COVID-19 relief funding intended to compensate rural health care providers for losses due to the pandemic.
In addition to James and Kelly, disputes & investigations partner Laura Warrick, senior counsel Caroline Wolverton, counsel Braden Allman and associate Aleena Ijaz and lobbying & public policy partners Filemon Vela, Hunter Bates and Brian Pomper were noted as being on the Akin team for this matter, along with Akin paralegals Christine Patton, Kareen Ejoh, Camille Schoonmaker and Jeniffer Mercedes, who supported the team’s work.
