Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld joins Google’s rapidly expanding army of lobbying firms to work Capitol Hill for the online search giant.
Burson-Marsteller’s Prime Policy Group, The Lugar Group, Crossroads Strategies and Gephardt Group Government Affairs signed on with Google last month.
Akin Gump is to “provide information on the nature of Google’s business in light of general allegations that it raises competition concerns,” according to its federal filing.
AG's Google team includes Jaime Tucker, aide to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Georgia Senator Coverdell; Christine Hesse, ex-counsel to the Senate Banking Committee, and Scott Parven, former Aetna staffer and founder of Parven Pomper Strategies.
