The trend of law firm mergers continues with the debut of Troutman Pepper Locke, a full-service law firm with 1,600 lawyers located in 33 offices, including Detroit.
Born out of the pairing of Troutman Pepper and Locke Lord, the new firm has a presence in 10 of America’s largest legal markets. The new firm works in a variety of sectors, including energy, financial services, health care and life sciences, insurance and reinsurance, private equity, and real estate.
“This merger is a strategic leap forward, allowing us to offer an even broader and deeper suite of services to help clients solve complex legal challenges,” says Tom Cole, chair of Troutman Pepper Locke, who is joined by David Taylor and Ashley Taylor as vice chairs, and Amie Colby as managing partner.
“The increased scale strengthens our ability to handle matters across an expanded geographic footprint and underscores our continued commitment to client service, efficiency, and innovation,” Cole adds.
Troutman Pepper Locke offers more than 600 lawyers in the Northeast, with a significant presence in Boston, Philadelphia, and the New York metro area.
In the South, the new firm employs nearly 700 lawyers in Texas, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia. The merger has strengthened resources in California and the Midwest.
