Troutman Lifts Trio of Charlotte Partners From K&L Gates
The Daily Report covered the recent addition of Jim Earle, Lynne Wakefield and Emily Zimmer to Troutman Sanders’ Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation practice in an article titled, “ Troutman Lifts Trio of Charlotte Partners From K&L Gates .” Charlotte Managing Partner Walter Fisher is quoted about the partners’ joining, saying, “They’re really best in class attorneys with a national reputation and practice” and “[they] broaden our offerings in a very significant way here and establishes us—even more than we already were—as a true player in the Carolinas.” Earle is also quoted several times throughout the feature, saying, “We’re not a team that just picks up and marches around. We had a lot of familiarity with the Charlotte group at Troutman, as we’d practiced with them for decades, and in their five years here they’ve had a very successful track record.” The trio’s joining the firm was also covered in a Bloomberg Law column .
