Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP issued the following announcement on Aug. 19.
The Best Lawyers in America© — the oldest peer review publication in the legal profession — has recognized 228 Troutman Pepper attorneys in its 2022 edition. In addition, Best Lawyers® honored 19 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.
Troutman Pepper earned multiple “Top-Listed” awards, with more recognized lawyers than any other firm in the following areas and locations: Energy Regulatory Law (Nationwide), Energy Law (Georgia and Atlanta), Energy Regulatory Law (Georgia and Atlanta), Financial Services Regulation Law (Virginia), Securities / Capital Markets Law (Virginia), Product Liability Litigation - Defendants (Philadelphia), and Securities / Capital Markets Law (Richmond).
The firm also has 126 attorneys recognized as Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch, which spotlights extraordinary attorneys who have been in private practice for less than 10 years.
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.
