NEW YORK – Troutman Pepper has been named among the top 10 most innovative law firms in North America by the Financial Times in the publication’s annual rankings report. Troutman Pepper ranks 7th (tied) in the business of law category for its overall approach to innovation.

The FT Innovative Lawyers North America 2021 report is produced by the Financial Times and its research partner RSGI. Law firms and in-house teams were invited to make submissions which were then scored. The business of law innovation list was created based on each firm’s aggregated scores for its top three submissions across the following categories: change makers, data analytics, diversity and inclusion, innovative leaders, new solutions and people and skills. Troutman Pepper’s score for its use of data and technology was also considered.
