Construction Executive Names Troutman Pepper Locke Among Nation’s Top Construction Law Firms

Firm Once Again Secures Top 10 Finish Among More Than 600 US Firms, Building on Track Record of Top-Tier National Recognition

Troutman Pepper Locke’s nationally ranked Construction Practice Group has once again earned a place among the nation’s elite, ranking No. 6 on Construction Executive’s Top 50 Construction Law Firms list. The annual report recognizes the top firms out of more than 600 evaluated nationwide, assessing each on the criteria that define true market leaders, including practice revenue, attorney count, total clients served, and geographic reach.

“We are proud to be named among the best in the country. Our team brings unmatched depth to every phase of a project, from front-end contract work to international disputes, and this distinction is a reflection of the trust our clients place in us to handle their most complex and high-stakes construction matters,” said Mike Subak, who leads the firm’s Construction Practice Group.

Recognized as a top 10 firm for the fourth consecutive year by Construction Executive, this honor builds on a long and distinguished track record of national excellence. One of the first construction practice groups established in the country, the team brings decades of experience and a global perspective to projects ranging from pipelines and power plants to highways and hotels, working closely with owners, architects, engineers, contractors, and subcontractors across all phases of development. The group is recognized for its strength in both front-end transactional work, including contract drafting and negotiation across EPC, design-build, and AIA-based structures, and complex litigation and arbitration. That depth of experience extends internationally as well, with the team uniquely positioned to represent clients globally in matters involving hydroelectric power plants, rail infrastructure, and water distribution systems.

“It’s both an exciting and challenging time in construction and that is exactly why elite counsel has never been more critical. The surge in large-scale data center development alone is reshaping the domestic market in ways we haven’t seen before, bringing with it extraordinary opportunity. Our clients are moving fast, and our job is to make sure they’re protected at every step,” said Subak.

Troutman Pepper Locke’s Construction Practice Group is comprised of more than 50 attorneys solely focused on the construction industry, and counsels clients on some of the largest, most sophisticated construction projects in the world. It is among the leading firms in total number of complex disputes tried and won in federal and state courts nationwide and arbitration forums domestic and international. Projects have included airport terminals, complex high rises, commercial office buildings, warehouse spaces, universities, medical buildings, stadiums, wind and solar energy-related projects, and high-dollar international projects. The practice has been nationally recognized by Chambers, Best Law Firms®, and local publications across the country.
