Philadelphia Business Journal Recognizes Two Troutman Pepper Partners as Top Lawyers in Business Litigation
PHILADELPHIA – The Philadelphia Business Journal has named Troutman Pepper Business Litigation partners Michael Baughman and Jan Levine to its 2020 Best of the Bar list of Philadelphia’s top lawyers. Honorees were selected by a panel of outside judges and include more than 40 local lawyers who distinguished themselves in their practice areas over the last year.
“We congratulate all of the accomplished Philadelphia lawyers who were recognized this year,” Levine said. “We are proud to be named among the Best of the Bar and remain committed to providing the best level of service to our clients.”
“In a year that has been full of challenges for the legal industry and indeed greater market, we are honored to be recognized for our body of work and thank the Philadelphia Business Journal for this distinction,” Baughman added.
Baughman represents clients in complex commercial disputes in jurisdictions throughout the United States, handling matters involving securities fraud, claims for breach of fiduciary duty, professional negligence, consumer fraud, complicated contract claims, and other business disputes. He was honored with a Best of the Bar award because of his impressive professional achievements and, most recently, a notable win in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit that has created substantial precedent on the scope of liability under Title IX for cases against colleges and universities.
Levine represents clients in their most challenging antitrust, unfair competition, privacy/data breach and class action cases. A first-chair litigator, Levine is particularly experienced defending clients in the health care and agriculture industries in complicated, multidistrict class actions, which often have industry-wide implications. Levine received a Best of the Bar award in recognition of her career accomplishments, including her recent success in a six-week antitrust multidistrict litigation trial regarding allegations of a domestic supply control of shell eggs.
Best of the Bar honorees will be profiled in a special edition of the Philadelphia Business Journal on Oct. 30 and celebrated at a virtual event on Oct. 29.
