Written by

Charles E. Peeler David W. Ghegan

Charlie Peeler, a partner in Troutman Pepper Locke’s White Collar + Government Investigations Practice Group, and David Ghegan, a partner in the firm’s Corporate Practice Group, were quoted in the September 21, 2026, Law360 article, “Georgia Powerhouse: Troutman.”

  • “The Atlanta office is well known for its litigation practice, for its corporate practice, for its regulatory and energy practice and for its white collar practice, and all of those groups had significant successes in 2025,” Peeler said.
  • …
  • “That was a significant piece of litigation that not only involved a very high dollar amount, but also some really complicated antitrust laws and analysis,” Peeler said. “We were very proud to have the opportunity to represent Tyson in that, and we’re certainly pleased, as were they, with the result of that case.”
  • …
  • “That was a nice victory that really is going to not only allow Georgia Power to expand, but which is going to benefit all of the citizens in Georgia through the providing of the additional energy needs,” Peeler said.
  • …
  • “Our firm, and specifically our Georgia corporate lawyers, have established a strong presence as one of the leaders in the financial services industry, and we’ve really taken that to more of a nationwide practice,” Ghegan said.
  • …
  • “DeKalb is one of the most populated counties in Georgia, and so you can imagine that infrastructure is very important to the county,” Peeler said. “We’re certainly honored to continue to provide them guidance in connection with that consent decree.”
  • …
  • “Our brand and our relationships run deep in connection to Atlanta,” Peeler said.
