From the article, "Troutman Sanders firm makes a sea change," by Philip Newswanger:
"The status quo and law firms are synonymous. So when a law firm makes a change, it is a noteworthy event, even though the change may seem slight or insignificant.
Atlanta-based Troutman Sanders announced last month that it has fine-tuned its Transportation practice.
Instead of one practice serving a spectrum of clients, Troutman Sanders has split its traditional Transportation practice into groups.
The newly renamed Transportation and Logistics practice group will be led by Washington, D.C., partner Charles Hunnicutt, and will be based in the nation's capital. The group advises clients about their multi-modal transportation needs, as well as about third-party logistics, and export and import compliance issues.
The other new practice group - Maritime Law and Government Contracts - will be led by partner Christopher Abel in Norfolk.
The group represents a spectrum of marine and government contracts issues before state and federal courts, the U.S. Congress and a variety of federal regulatory agencies."
