Mary I. Akhimien

Mary I. Akhimien is an attorney at Connolly Gallagher LLP, where her primary practice areas include Employment Law and School Law. She was recognized as a "Rising Star" in labor and employment law. Prior to her current role, she served as Assistant General Counsel and Senior Vice President at Bank of America.

While her main focus is employment and school law, Ms. Akhimien has one tracked appearance in patent litigation. She served as local counsel for the plaintiff in Angiodynamics Inc v. Endovascular Engineering Inc. This case, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware in April 2026, involves allegations of patent infringement related to medical devices, specifically AngioDynamics' proprietary self-expanding funnel technology used in thrombectomy systems. Given this single appearance as local counsel, it is not possible to discern a broader specialty or side preference in substantive patent litigation, nor is there evidence of regular involvement in PTAB or IPR proceedings.

Ms. Akhimien is admitted to the Delaware Bar.
