Overview

Akerman Senterfitt's growth has been fueled primarily by lateral hiring from both outside and within the state. A number of Akerman attorneys previously practiced with major law firms and well-known corporations in New York, the District of Columbia, Chicago, and other cities. Our history of successfully integrating experienced attorneys ensures that lateral hires will experience a smooth transition and continued practice support.

Akerman offers complex and interesting work, direct client contact, and a high level of responsibility early in one's career. Associates have the opportunity to work on dynamic, complex legal matters for a broad range of clients that include Fortune 500 and multinational corporations, start-up ventures, major U.S. financial institutions, leading insurers, professional and trade associations, venture capitalists, professional sports teams, government agencies, and prominent individuals. Associates are encouraged and expected to take on increasing levels of responsibility throughout their career. The environment at Akerman is one where associates learn by doing, not observing.
