Making partner is often the apex of a lawyer’s career, but for Robin Russell, hitting that milestone was just the beginning. The restructuring attorney’s star continues to rise with Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP, where she was recently named the firm’s deputy managing partner.
“Each of my accomplishments were things that I didn’t set as goals,” Russell says. “But the skills that I acquired and my loyalty to the firm allowed me to advance to those positions.”
Russell began practicing law in 1986, shortly after graduating from Baylor University’s School of Law. She was the highest-ranking graduate, and later received a master of laws degree from Boston University’s School of Law. Before joining Andrews Kurth, she clerked for the Supreme Court of Texas. The accomplished attorney has held many titles throughout her 33-year run with the firm, and made partner in 1995. She previously served as managing partner of its Houston office, and for many years co-chaired its national bankruptcy and restructuring practice. Russell became deputy managing partner in 2018, when Andrews Kurth Kenyon and Hunton & Williams merged. The combined firms operate as Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP.
