Akin Gump Named to GIR 30 for Sixth Straight Year

(Washington, D.C.) – Global Investigations Review has again named Akin Gump to its GIR 30, the publication’s ranking of the world’s 30 best law firms for handling sophisticated cross-border government-led and internal investigations.

Akin Gump has now been included in the list in each of the six years it has been published. The firm was noted for its “proven track record in U.S. foreign bribery and sanctions matters.” In recent years, GIR said, Akin Gump has also taken on “an increased load of cases by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.” GIR also notes that in the realm of corporate investigations, the firm “has pedigree,” highlighting that for more than three decades the firm has focused heavily on white-collar defense and government investigations.

The GIR 30, part of the GIR 100, is an annual guide to the world’s leading firms for corporate investigations. The list is based on extensive research and determined through a formula that includes the number of active cases at a firm, the profile level of those matters, the number of leading figures at a firm and other criteria.

Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP is a leading international law firm with more than 900 lawyers and advisors in offices throughout the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Founded in 1945, the firm is proudly celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2020. #AkinGump75
