Overall firm rank
Hunton's practice has substantial connections to energy, financial services, real estate, retail and consumer products, and technology. Its history brings together practices with longstanding roots in Virginia and Texas, including Andrews & Ball, formed in Houston in 1902. The firm's development reflects both regional commercial relationships and the growth of increasingly complex regulated industries.
Its published history describes work involving Federal Energy Regulatory Commission proceedings, infrastructure projects, mergers, and divestitures. Intellectual property capabilities expanded through the addition of lawyers from Kenyon & Kenyon in 2016. Current firm materials also highlight multijurisdictional class actions, infrastructure financings, and corporate transactions.
For students, Hunton's industry concentration provides a useful way to connect litigation, transactional, and regulatory opportunities. Energy work, for example, can involve financing an asset, obtaining regulatory approvals, or resolving a dispute. The firm's different practices address those stages from distinct legal perspectives within a shared commercial setting.
