Andrews Kurth Kenyon LLP was a Houston, Texas based international law firm founded by Frank Andrews and U.S. Congressman Thomas Henry Ball in 1902, and later joined by Melvin Kurth in 1913.[1] In April 2018, the firm merged with Hunton & Williams LLP to form Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP.

Prior to the merger, Andrews Kurth had over 400 attorneys in its offices in major energy, financial, and political centers worldwide, including London, Beijing, Dubai, Austin, Dallas, New York City, Research Triangle Park, NC, Silicon Valley, Washington, D.C., and Houston.[1] At the time, the firm was led by Bob Jewell as Managing Partner and Thomas Perich as Chairman.[2]

On February 21, 2018, it was announced that partners at Andrews Kurth Kenyon and Hunton & Williams had agreed to merge their firms and operate as Hunton Andrews Kurth, a 1,000-lawyer firm with offices in 15 US cities and another five located outside the United States.[3]
