Akin is a global elite law firm providing innovative legal services and business solutions to individuals and institutions. We are one of the world’s largest law firms, with more than 900 lawyers and professionals in 17 offices worldwide, yet we strive to provide every client focused and consistent attention. Our firm’s clients range from individuals to corporations and foreign governments.

We were founded in Texas in 1945 by Robert Strauss and Richard Gump, with the guiding vision that our future-focused approach and dedication to excellence would drive the success of the firm. Today, we are an international, full-service law firm exceptionally well positioned at the intersection of commerce, policy and the law.

We help clients prepare for what is next and navigate a path to success. Distinguished by the breadth of our experience and capabilities, our focus on client service is supported by a culture rooted in collaboration and caring. Our goal in every engagement is to offer a level of client service that not only meets but anticipates our clients’ needs and exceeds expectations.

From reputational defense of headline-makers to powering the energy transition, from precedential class action dismissals to protection of terrorism’s victims, we serve clients in more than 250 areas that range from the traditional, such as disputes, corporate and finance, to the cutting edge, such as technology, renewable energy and cybersecurity. Our lawyers, many of them with years of experience in the boardroom, on the bench and in the halls of government, collaborate across borders and practice areas to provide comprehensive counsel.
