Histori

Akerman was founded in 1920; formerly known as Akerman Senterfitt LLP and renamed Akerman LLP in 2013. Founded by former US District Court Judge John Moses Cheney and Alexander Akerman as Cheney & Akerman, with offices in Orlando, Florida. In 1925, Alexander Akerman partnered with Hugh Akerman as Akerman & amp; Akerman, after Cheney died. In 1936, Hugh Akerman and Billy Dial, who were instrumental in establishing what is now known as SunTrust Bank, formed a partnership with William Akerman. These three men were largely responsible for the success of the company through the 1950s, under the name Akerman, Dial & amp; Akerman. George T. Eidson and American Bankers Association President Donald T. Senterfitt later became a partner of the name and played an important role in the growth and success of the company from the 1950s to the 1980s.

Akerman acquired its first office outside Orlando in May 1958 when the company merged with Turnbull & Senterfitt. In 1982, an office in Miami opened.
