Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP issued the following announcement on Aug. 20.
The Best Lawyers in America© — the oldest peer review publication in the legal profession — has recognized 224 Troutman Pepper attorneys in its 2021 edition. In addition, Best Lawyers® honored 15 Troutman Pepper partners as “Lawyers of the Year,” a distinction held by very few practicing attorneys nationwide. Only one lawyer is recognized as the “Lawyer of the Year” for each specialty and location.
This year, the publication also launched Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch, which recognizes extraordinary attorneys who have been in private practice for less than 10 years. Troutman Pepper has 107 attorneys recognized as “Ones to Watch.”
Recognition by Best Lawyers is based entirely on peer review. Attorneys must be nominated for consideration and then voted on and recommended by their peers for inclusion. Those recognized must also be in good standing with their local bar associations.
