In a Rare Win for Law Firms, Akin Gump Recognized with CIO 100 Award
Contact:
(Washington, D.C.) – Akin Gump is proud to announce that it has been selected as a 2018 CIO 100 award honoree, the only law firm to place in this prestigious collection of organizations “driving business value and growth through digital innovation.”
This is the third time in five years that the firm has been selected as a CIO 100 honoree, a recognition that is rarely awarded to law firms (learn more here and here). 2018 honorees encompass a number of marquee multinational enterprises in, among others, the technology, telecommunications and aviation industries.
The firm was recognized for its Antiboycott Advisor, a client-oriented project involving close collaboration between Akin Gump’s international trade practitioners and its IT department. Antiboycott Advisor, an automated compliance program, allows the client to navigate, via desktop computers or mobile devices and at considerable savings in money, time and downsizing of risk, the U.S. government’s labyrinthine boycott regulations.
Founded in 1945, Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP is a leading international law firm with more than 900 lawyers in offices throughout the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
