Outcomes matter. So does how you get them.

Troutman Pepper Locke helps clients solve complex legal challenges and achieve their business goals in an ever-changing global economy. Our goal in every matter is to ensure that your experience working with us is as exemplary as the results we help you obtain. To do that, we follow the core values and beliefs that have sustained and helped grow our firm for more than a century:

  • We put clients first. We calibrate our representation to fit your business, your goals, and the unique facts and circumstances of each matter. Whether it’s through early resolution of litigation threats, negotiating a transformative deal, trying a high-stakes case to verdict, or navigating crucial government regulatory approvals, our focus is on success as you define it.
  • We are future-focused. From crafting bespoke AI solutions to developing leading-edge training curricula for our people, our firm is focused on what’s next, ensuring our clients and our people are ahead of the curve.
  • We are collaborative and caring. A true service culture thrives in an environment of mutual support and collaboration — values we emphasize at every level of our firm. Delivering the best service to you depends on a work environment that embraces respect, inclusiveness, and teamwork, empowering every individual to contribute. That sense of caring extends to every community where we live and work. Individuals and groups firmwide contribute time and talent to the civic, cultural, charitable, educational, and professional organizations that matter to them, and to work that improves the lives of the most vulnerable in our communities.

Leadership

“When you call somebody at our law firm for help, the default response is an enthusiastic yes. And if they’re not the right person for the matter, they will get you to the person who is. That team-based, all-in approach is one of our great differentiators. It is our secret sauce.”

Thomas J. Cole Jr.

“We want to be great legal advisors, but we need be great business and strategic advisors as well. When we see new enforcement or compliance trends or even new strategic opportunities, we work hard to make sure that our clients know that we’re on top of those and we’re sharing that information with them, and collaborating together to achieve better results for them.”

Denise Hanna

“I think our collaboration sets us apart from other firms. The willingness of everyone to help each other, to learn what others in the firm do, and to collaborate regardless of office or practice area helps everyone grow and get better results for clients.”

David Taylor

“We have almost 400 attorneys who represent health care and life sciences companies across transactional, regulatory, and litigation issues. Many of them have been in-house or with regulatory agencies. So they’ve walked the halls, they understand the practical realities as well as the regulatory environment that these companies face, and they give a different level of legal counsel as a result, with more of a practical business overlay.”

Deborah L. Spranger

“I am constantly in awe of my colleagues. They are talented and tenacious, unafraid of tackling tough issues, generous with their time, and committed to doing good – exactly the kind of advocates and counselors you’d want in your corner.”
