Hunton celebrates milestone of 125 years

Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP proudly celebrates an impressive 125-year legacy, characterised by legal excellence and strong client partnerships. Managing Partner Sam Danon stated “As we celebrate 125 years, we recommit to the core values that serve as our guiding principles: exceptional client service, commitment to our communities and our people, and delivering trusted world-class legal counsel,” highlighting the firm's continued dedication to these principles. Formed through the 2018 merger of Hunton & Williams and Andrews Kurth Kenyon, the firm blends a historic East Coast legacy with the formidable energy expertise of Texas.

With nearly 900 lawyers located across the United States, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, Hunton Andrews Kurth has developed into a leading global law firm. Its extensive capabilities cater to diverse sectors including energy, technology, financial services, real estate, and retail. The firm proudly announces the promotion of 16 lawyers to partner within six of its practices, which include capital finance, corporate, energy, labour, litigation, and tax. These promotions represent Hunton's ongoing investment in talent to enhance support for client needs across key industries.

Integral to its culture is Hunton's longstanding dedication to pro bono legal service, as evidenced by the significant effort its U.S. attorneys devoted to various community projects last fiscal year. Executive Committee Chair Randy Parks confirmed “Pro bono participation reflects who we are as a firm,” noting that for 32 consecutive years, Hunton has outperformed the ABA's Law Firm Pro Bono Challenge by dedicating over 3 percent of billable hours to pro bono work. The firm works tirelessly on issues including housing, immigration, civil rights, and veterans’ rights, with gratitude expressed towards partner Kim MacLeod for her leadership in these initiatives.

Looking forward, Hunton draws strength from its rich history, remaining committed to investing in its people, new technologies, and enhanced capabilities. As the firm manoeuvres through evolving landscapes, it stays focused on delivering effective, business-oriented solutions across complex legal areas. By upholding its commitment to clients and communities, Hunton Andrews Kurth is well-equipped to face the future and continue its legacy of legal excellence. To find out more, please visit hunton.com.
