Akin Gump made their announcement on the last day of the Bar.
Coincidence, or intentional doing? I think not...

What an awesome way to end the Bar!

respectively. For subsequent years, we intend to be competitive in the
market. We are in the process of determining the contours of the

We appreciate all that you do to make this a great Firm.
