(Houston) – Akin Gump has taken the number two spot in Houston Business Journal’s inaugural Corporate Philanthropy Awards for the number of volunteer hours donated by employees over the past year. The firm, ranked in the midsized company category for those with 100-499 employees, tallied 3,383 hours.

Among its Houston-area philanthropic endeavors, following Hurricane Harvey, the firm created the Akin Gump Charitable Relief Fund to facilitate contributions to Houston’s recovery after the storm.
