Troutman Pepper Locke Continues Streak as Law360 Georgia Regional Powerhouse

ATLANTA – Troutman Pepper Locke has once again been named by Law360 as a Georgia Regional Powerhouse, honoring firms that reside as household names in the Peach State.

In the courtroom, Troutman Pepper Locke secured a landmark antitrust summary judgment victory for Tyson Foods. Additionally, the firm represented DeKalb County, one of the most populated counties in Georgia, in implementing a 2011 consent decree with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Troutman Pepper Locke attorneys in Georgia also advised on major banking and energy transactions, including Georgia Power’s approval of one of the largest electric generation expansions in the U.S. The firm also advised payment platform Payroc through back-to-back acquisitions, including the acquisition of PayiQ and BlueSnap, expanding the company’s global payments capabilities. The firm also guided Georgia Banking Company through its merger with Tandem Bancorp, creating a combined institution with approximately $3 billion in total assets.

“Being recognized as a Georgia Powerhouse year after year reflects the caliber of work our Atlanta team brings to every matter,” said Charlie Peeler, managing partner of the Atlanta office. “We are deeply committed to our clients and this community, and this recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of every attorney and business professional at this firm who calls Georgia home.”

“Georgia continues to be one of the most dynamic business environments in the country, and our corporate team is proud to be at the center of some of the most consequential transactions of the year,” said David Ghegan, leader of the firm’s Corporate Practice Group. “A prime example is CoastalSouth Bancshares’ successful IPO, one of the notable capital markets milestones for a Georgia-based financial institution.”

The firm’s Georgia-based attorneys provide national and international counsel to Fortune 500, middle-market, and emerging companies in all major areas of legal practice. Industries served span energy, media and entertainment, financial institutions, real estate, transportation, communications, and technology, as well as global manufacturing, retail, trade, and government, among others.
