Troutman Pepper Achieves National Recognition for ESG Practice

NEW YORK –Troutman Pepper is featured in Reuters Legal for being among the top four law firms that responded to a manufactured scenario involving environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues.

Earlier this year, the national news outlet put together a panel of sustainability experts who created a fictitious tractor company that needed help in its ESG strategy. In June, Reuters invited Troutman Pepper and other top law firms to make recommendations to the fake company. Eighteen firms responded, and Troutman Pepper was one of four law firms that “really stood out to panelists.”

A Troutman Pepper team of Partners Dave Meyers, Shelli Willis, and Andrea Wortzel was praised by Reuters’ sustainability experts for being particularly sensitive to the concerns of the fictitious client.

According to one judge, “What I liked about [Troutman Pepper’s submission] is how they talked about doing materiality under privilege. That’s really a great way to get others in the company to feel comfortable about disclosing this information, which is often such a challenge.”

Businesses across a range of industries—from start-up, to stand-out—are increasingly turning to Troutman Pepper for creative and unique advice on the myriad of business and legal implications connected with ESG. The firm helps these businesses grow by bringing experience to every aspect of their ESG initiatives. The team draws from expertise across the firm, including from its corporate, finance, tax, energy, capital projects, environmental, project development, real estate, and employment practices to prepare tailored support for each client’s needs.
