Nationally recognized for his outstanding education law knowledge and client service delivery, Mark Williams represents K-12 school districts, community colleges and Joint Powers Authorities. Mark drafts, reviews and negotiates complex technology, construction and architect contracts and is known across the country as the author of a groundbreaking technology form agreement. With decades of experience in the courtroom and around the negotiation table, he also litigates and manages large, high-stakes construction disputes. Drawing on both his deep knowledge of the law and ability to conceive and implement cutting-edge ideas, Mark created the California Student Data Privacy Agreement and then led the efforts to draft the Nationwide Student Data Privacy Agreement. The sophisticated yet easy-to-read documents are used by thousands of school districts throughout California and in 37 states. These “public service contributions,” as Mark calls them, and his day-to-day client service have earned him a reputation as a highly regarded authority on technology procurement and student data privacy.
