CHARLOTTE – Troutman Pepper announced today that Jason Evans, a partner in the Business Litigation Practice Group, will become office managing partner (OMP) of the Charlotte office, effective May 1, 2023. Evans succeeds Walter Fisher, who has managed the Charlotte office since it opened in 2014 and will now focus on his legal practice full-time.

“We are grateful to Walter for providing outstanding leadership in Charlotte, and for Jason’s willingness to take on this important leadership role in addition to the demands of his busy practice,” said Tom Cole, Troutman Pepper Managing Partner. “Jason will continue to build on his predecessor’s efforts, focusing on strategic growth and actively representing our firm in the local community.”
