# Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld One of the largest law-firm lobbying practices in Washington and, by Lobbying Disclosure Act revenue, the top **law-firm** lobbying shop in 2025. **Bipartisan** — historically tied to Democratic power (co-founder Robert Strauss chaired the DNC) but a full-spectrum influence operation that works whichever party governs. ## Scale Akin Gump reported roughly **$65.3 million in LDA revenue in 2025**, up about 15% over 2024 — the leading law-firm lobbying total, though challenged by fast-growing rivals and dwarfed in growth rate by the Trump-world boutiques. ## Why it's here Akin anchors the "law-firm lobbying" tier any influence map needs as a reference point — the institutional, bipartisan counterweight to the access-driven Trump-world cluster tracked at [[Lobbying Hub]]. Its 2025 gains, like the rest of the industry's, rode record federal lobbying spending. ## See also [[Lobbying Hub]] · [[Lobbying]] · [[Holland & Knight]]
