Troutman Sanders Snag Lathrop & Gage Enviro Partners
The arrival of a three-person environmental and business litigation team to the firm’s Chicago office caught the attention of Law 360, who interviewed the group on July 10. Environmental partners Russ Eggert and Sue Charles and Business litigation partner Trent Cornell joined Troutman Sanders from Lathrop & Gage LLP. All three partners will work with the firm’s environmental team on some level. Trent told Law360 on Monday that Troutman’s global reach excited him about the firm. “I’ve worked with Troutman partners on matters for a mutual client and found them to be great attorneys, but also really great people.” Russ echoed Trent’s excitement about the firm, telling Law360 that his work with the environmental team on previous cases drew him in.
