With its rich roots and seasoned experts, Hunton Andrews Kurth is holding the torch, leading the way, and illuminating the path towards a greater, stronger, and more efficient future. The very core of the business are linked to “collegiality, responsiveness, and rigorous commercial analysis to solutions,” James says. “We strive to be knowledgeable in risk identification and ready to address solutions or mitigating considerations in pursuit of client transactional and project goals. Having been engaged on some projects over years and even decades and undertaking developmentphase work sometimes over 3-5 years, we also work to maintain focus and institutional memory and consistency. Our core values have remained the same in my experience.” “We’ve been accustomed to working at distances from clients’ and interacting using communications media, so our own practices have remained fairly consistent. We can see that the people engaging in bringing projects into existence have had difficulties coordinating and completing their efforts and appreciate the sacrifices they have made to keep lights on, commodities moving, utilities working, and goods being available.” With the fire inside it to grow and expand the firm even further, James is leading with respect, experience, and much admiration for his team.
