Atlanta Partner to Co-Lead Troutman Pepper's New Corporate Espionage Response Team
Evan Gibbs and Will Taylor, co-leaders of Troutman Pepper's Corporate Espionage Response Team, were quoted in the October 12, 2023 Daily Report article, " Atlanta Partner to Co-Lead Troutman Pepper's New Corporate Espionage Response Team."
"Will and I were really intentional when we were forming the team and deciding who would be the right people on the team," Gibbs said in an interview. "We sort of focused on the right substantive experience, and geography was also really important."
"We handle these cases all over the country," the Atlanta-based attorney continued. "It's important that it's not just folks in one office. … They're spread out, so we have the geographic coverage we need to handle these matters for our clients wherever they happen."
Taylor, who is based in Boston, also emphasized the importance of geography to the team, pointing to Troutman Sanders' and Pepper Hamilton's merger in 2020 as key to the team's success.
"Certainly … both of the legacy firms had similar capabilities in these areas prior to the merger," he said. "The joint firm really maximized those efforts and created broader geographic coverage for clients."
