Law 2024: RANDALL S. PARKS

Parks joined Hunton & Williams, Hunton Andrews Kurth’s predecessor, after graduating from law school at the University of Virginia in 1988. He has served as the chair of the state’s second largest law firm’s executive committee since 2022. 

With 35 years of experience under his belt, Parks handles complex corporate transactions, especially information technology and outsourcing transactions, as well as corporate governance, capital markets and mergers and acquisitions. He advises on projects involving topics such as artificial intelligence, robotic process automation and complex data protection. Parks has also negotiated dozens of large-scale commercial and technology transactions worth billions of dollars for multinational companies. 

Parks, who also earned his bachelor’s degree in chemistry and English literature at U.Va., previously was co-chair of the firm’s corporate team and its retail and consumer products industry group, and head of the global technology and outsourcing practice group. In June, Parks was named to The Legal 500’s international Hall of Fame for the outsourcing practice area and was a recommended lawyer for technology transactions.

He sits on the board of the Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges.
