Formed through the 2018 merger of Hunton & Williams (founded 1901) and Andrews Kurth Kenyon (descended from Andrews & Ball, 1902), the firm serves enterprise clients — including 9 of the Fortune 10 and more than one-third of the Fortune 100 — across five core industry verticals: Energy, Financial Services, Real Estate Investment and Finance, Retail and Consumer Products, and Technology. Its practice spans more than 100 areas, including M&A, data privacy and cybersecurity, intellectual property, environmental law, labor and employment, white collar defense, appellate litigation, and public finance.

The firm operates on a traditional professional services revenue model, generating fees through billable hours, alternative fee arrangements, and matter-based pricing. Distribution is partner-led and relationship-driven, with no platform, modular software, or external product architecture. The firm extends its reach via membership in two invitation-only global networks — the World Law Group (78 countries, 18,000+ lawyers) and the World Services Group (150+ jurisdictions) — enabling cross-border mandate coverage. Hunton Andrews Kurth is a private limited liability partnership with no parent company, private equity backing, or institutional investment ownership; control rests with its partners. Management is led by Randall S. Parks (Chairman of the Executive Committee) and Samuel A. Danon (Managing Partner).
