Joe Akrotirianakis
King & Spalding
Joe Akrotirianakis is an accomplished trial lawyer who has built a practice litigating cases that are unusually complex and that involve novel applications of the law, prosecuting and defending matters involving cutting-edge legal theories in high-profile matters brought, for example, pursuant to the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act, the Lanham Act, the California Unfair Competition Law and similar state unfair trade practices laws.
Akrotirianakis’ successes in these matters have been repeatedly recognized in the legal press and mainstream media. Most recently, he has successfully challenged a California law that would have made it more challenging for his client American Kidney Fund to provide financial assistance to dialysis patients, brought groundbreaking unfair competition and false advertising suits related to blockbuster drug Mounjaro, and successfully defended cybersecurity company NSO Group in a CFAA case related to the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi.
