Akin has been named a national finalist for the 2023 Thomas L. Sager Award in the category of firms with more than 501 lawyers. This marks the firm’s eighth appearance on this prestigious shortlist.

Presented by the Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA), the award recognizes law firms “that champion a more diverse and inclusive workforce and have demonstrated a sustained commitment to improving the hiring, retention and promotion of diverse attorneys.” It is named after former DuPont senior vice president and general counsel Thomas L. Sager, a widely respected leader in diversity.

Akin previously won the national Sager Award in 2017 and was a finalist for the award in 2020 and 2016. The firm has also been named a winner of four regional Sager Awards. This year’s winner will be announced at the MCCA’s Diversity Gala in New York City on October 11.
