A career with you at the center

When you succeed, we succeed. At our firm, you will be recognized for your talent and provided with real opportunities to grow in your own, unique way.

Collaboration at work

Imagine yourself at a law firm that actually delivers on its promise to value your contributions. A place where every door is open when you need a hand — or just want to bounce an idea off a colleague. From day one, you’re encouraged to ask questions and contribute ideas.

If individualized guidance and mentorship, early exposure to meaningful work, and the sense of community that comes from working in closely knit teams is important to you, you’ve come to the right place. We offer something else important to your success too – programs, technologies, and initiatives that aren’t available at other firms.

In short, we know what it takes to recognize, inspire, and cultivate the best in our people. How do we do it?

For the good of everyone

Our pro bono program is driven by our passion to address the unprecedented need for competent and effective representation of the vulnerable.

We encourage our attorneys to choose work that resonates with their commitment to assist underserved people and to nonprofit agencies, and also helps advance our attorneys’ professional skills. Although we dedicate thousands of hours each year to our pro bono practice, we believe the success of our efforts is measured by the results we help our clients achieve rather than the number of hours we volunteer.

“I’m grateful for Troutman Pepper Locke’s long-standing commitment to pro bono work, which makes it possible for my colleagues and me to make a meaningful contribution of our time and effort to deserving causes.”
