Troutman Pepper Locke Partner Ashley Taylor Named a ‘Go To Lawyer’ by Virginia Lawyers Weekly for Business Litigation

RICHMOND – Ashley L. Taylor, Jr., co-leader of Troutman Pepper Locke’s nationally ranked State Attorneys General Practice, was named to Virginia Lawyers Weekly’s “Go To Lawyers” for business litigation. The program recognizes the top lawyers across the commonwealth in a given practice area based on nominations and an independent selection process.

According to the publication, those recognized as “Go To Lawyers” are regarded as experts in their field and well-versed in the nuances of related case law, statutes, and regulations clients will encounter. Honorees also have a demonstrated record of success, receive regular referrals, and think creatively.

Taylor, who also serves as vice chair of the firm and is a partner in the Regulatory Investigations, Strategy and Enforcement (RISE) Practice Group, is a nationally recognized and sought-after strategist who has practiced across a wide range of heavily regulated sectors for more than two decades. Clients facing bet-the-company government investigations, enforcement actions, and litigation benefit from his experience as a former deputy attorney general, his long-standing relationships with personnel at all levels in state AG offices, and his knowledge of the regulatory enforcement priorities of each state AG and their approaches to enforcement actions and investigations.

Troutman Pepper Locke’s RISE Practice Group counsels clients in a wide range of legal and public policy matters. For businesses in heavily regulated industries, such as financial services, advertising and marketing, health care, insurance, telecommunications, alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis, the team offers guidance on compliance and reporting, as well as, when necessary, litigation and administrative appeals of regulatory enforcement actions.
