The Best Lawyers in America® — the oldest peer-reviewed publication in the legal profession — has recognized 244 Troutman Pepper attorneys as Best Lawyers in America in 411 areas in its 2024 edition. In addition, Best Lawyers® honored 13 Troutman Pepper partners as “Lawyers of the Year” in 15 areas, a distinction held by very few practicing attorneys nationwide, with only one lawyer recognized as the “Lawyer of the Year” for each specialty and location.
The firm also has 167 attorneys recognized as Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America® in 255 areas, a 21 percent increase in the number of attorneys since last year’s rankings. This recognition highlights the exceptional abilities of attorneys with less than a decade of private practice. It is a testament to the firm’s commitment to nurturing exceptional legal talent.
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.
