CHICAGO – Susan Charles, a partner in Troutman Pepper’s Environmental and Natural Resources Practice Group, has been named among the 2021 “Women of Influence” by the Chicago Business Journal. After an editorial review process, the publication selected 10 women who have made a significant impact on their organizations, served as mentors and leaders to others, and contributed to the Chicago community. Charles is one of only two attorneys who made the list.
“It is an honor to be recognized alongside such a strong group of women who have had positive impacts on the Chicago community,” Charles said. “These women are powerhouses in their respective fields, and I extend my congratulations to each of them.”
Charles has a robust legal practice, advising clients across the country on all aspects of environmental law including regulatory compliance, risk assessment, enforcement defense, and environmental litigation. In addition to her legal practice, Charles assists with firm recruiting and mentoring.
