Awards & Accolades


Day to day, Akin Gump’s commitment is apparent in our efforts to attract and retain minority law students, our commitment to place female and minority attorneys in leadership positions, and our commitment to diversity in our partnership policy. These initiatives are more than cosmetic. Akin Gump recognizes that progress in matters of diversity comes only from taking concrete steps to maintain and improve both hiring and retention practices. In sum, diversity is a basic tenet of Akin Gump’s practice and philosophy.

Akin Gump is proud that our diversity efforts have yielded measurable results and significant recognition, including:

  • 2007 recipient of the Minority Corporate Counsel Association’s Thomas L. Sager Award. Akin Gump is one of only two law firms to be a four-time recipient of the Thomas L. Sager Award (1999, 2001, 2002 and 2007)
  • Akin Gump ranked third in the country by the Yale Law Women in its 2007 list of Top Ten Family Friendly Firms.
  • Akin Gump recognized as one of the 10 law firms (out of approximately 230) with the “Highest Number of Minority Partners” (Minority Law Journal, Summer 2006).
