Troutman Pepper Ranks Among Top 50 Law Firms in 2021 Am Law 100 List
Merger Vaults Firm to No. 49 in The American Lawyer’s Annual Rankings
NEW YORK – Troutman Pepper now ranks among the top 50 law firms in the United States, according to the 2021 Am Law 100 report published by The American Lawyer. The firm is 49th on the annual list that ranks America’s top revenue-grossing law firms.
The firm’s dramatic rise in the rankings is attributed to last year’s merger between Troutman Sanders and Pepper Hamilton. Troutman Pepper now has more than 1,200 attorneys in 23 U.S. cities, strategically aligned to best cater to its diverse client base.
In addition to the expanded geographical reach, the combined firm offers clients greater resources and bench strength, enhanced practices, and dedicated teams for client care and innovation. Notably, the legacy firms had complementary practices including recognized expertise in energy, banking, finance, insurance, health care, life sciences, and private equity, among other key areas.
“The firm’s merger success is particularly remarkable given it was conducted virtually during a year of significant market uncertainty because of the pandemic,” said Managing Partner Tom Cole. “We are proud of our people for coming together as one firm and look forward to Troutman Pepper’s bright future.”
Clients have already benefited from the merger, with corporate counsel noting the firm’s exceptional client service performance in a recent BTI Consulting Group survey. Troutman Pepper was recognized for its ability to mobilize resources quickly, field the absolute best team, quickly assess situations, and deliver value for the dollar.
