There's a lot going on in this site, but for once that doesn't appear to be a bad thing. The home page is a variation on the "splash page" idea - but instead of just a graphic announcing the firm (as many other sites have done), Akin Gump places current information (titled "Featured this month") on the page. We were put off by the suggestion at the bottom of the page that said that we should have several plug-ins to see the page (OK for a movie's PR site, but why does a law firm use Shockwave and Quicktime movies?), but the use of bandwidth-intensive multimedia is thankfully minimal. The attorney directory is one of the best we've seen - you can search the directory by the normal fields (name, practice area) but Akin Gump also lets you search by law school (a terrific idea if you want to recruit law students!). Speaking of recruiting, the "Day in the Life" feature (under "recruiting") should be a textbook for other firms that want to do it right. Graphics are consistent throughout the site, load quickly, and are very professional. Our only complaint: there doesn't seem to be many newsletters or other content that would compel a visitor to return often.
