AKIN GUMP
Filers who listed AKIN GUMP as employer or occupation on federal reports account for $4,959,676 in itemized receipts on FEC.gov. That cluster is compact compared with many employer strings: 6,833 contributions and 354 donors. Mean gift size is therefore higher, about $726 per contribution and about $14,010 per donor. The label is law-firm text on an FEC form, not a NAICS legal-services code.
Key figures
- AKIN GUMP FEC self-reports sum to $4,959,676.
- 6,833 contributions came from 354 donors.
- Means: about $726 per gift and $14,010 per donor.
- The label is FEC employer text, not a NAICS code.
- Longer LLP spellings are not included unless they match this key.
Fewer rows, larger mean gifts
Six thousand eight hundred thirty-three contributions from 354 people is about 19 itemized gifts per donor—lower frequency than high-volume payroll clusters, with a higher dollar mean. $4,959,676 ÷ 6,833 ≈ $726. $4,959,676 ÷ 354 ≈ $14,010. Those ratios describe the distribution of disclosed amounts inside this string; they do not describe partnership draws, bonus policy, or a firm PAC budget.
Law-firm employer fields are inconsistent. Partners may write the short name AKIN GUMP, a longer LLP string, or a city office. This page isolates the AKIN GUMP key. Other spellings, if present in LobbyVault, are other industry slugs and are not added into the $4,959,676.
Industry as a law-firm string
LobbyVault’s industry list is a ranking of FEC employer/occupation self-reports. Job titles (attorney, lobbyist) and firm names sit side by side because the Commission does not code them into sectors. AKIN GUMP appears here as an employer string whose itemized total reached $4,959,676. Top employer is the same string, so the bucket is not a blend of unrelated shops sharing a fuzzy match.
Occupation breakdowns remain useful for title-level views of the same filers. A partner who wrote AKIN GUMP in employer and attorney in occupation can appear in both indexes. This guide reports only the industry-string facts.

Questions
- How much federal campaign money is tied to Akin Gump filers?
- The AKIN GUMP industry cluster totals $4,959,676 in itemized FEC contributions, from 6,833 contributions and 354 donors. Filers listed AKIN GUMP as employer or occupation. The figure is a string rollup on FEC.gov, not a firm treasury total. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer/occupation string as indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts, state filings, and lobbying reports are omitted and are not added to the itemized total cited here.
- Why is the average gift higher than on some employer pages?
- Mean gift size is $4,959,676 divided by 6,833 contributions, about $726, because this cluster has fewer, larger itemized rows than high-frequency payroll strings. That arithmetic does not explain why any donor gave. It only describes the four packet facts. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer/occupation string as indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts, state filings, and lobbying reports are omitted and are not added to the itemized total cited here.
- Is AKIN GUMP a NAICS legal-services industry?
- No. LobbyVault industries are FEC employer/occupation self-reports. The Commission does not attach NAICS to individual contribution records. Other firm-name spellings are separate slugs if they were ingested as different keys. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer/occupation string as indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts, state filings, and lobbying reports are omitted and are not added to the itemized total cited here.
- How many unique Akin Gump-labeled donors are there?
- LobbyVault counts 354 donors in this cluster. They produced 6,833 contributions. Unique-donor count is people whose disclosed text matched AKIN GUMP, not a headcount of the partnership.

Unitemized gifts, state filings, and lobbying reports are omitted and are not added to the itemized total cited here.
