Troutman Sanders Garners Top Rankings in Benchmark Litigation 2009
December 7, 2009
ATLANTA – Troutman Sanders and several of its attorneys have garnered top rankings and praise in the third annual edition of Benchmark Litigation, a definitive guide to America’s leading firms and attorneys.
The firm was ranked as a “highly recommended” and “recommended” firm in Virginia and Georgia, respectively, and was noted for its strengths in real estate, securities, labor and employment, e-commerce, telecommunications and technology, energy, environmental and entertainment law. Specifically, the Richmond office was singled out for its strength in banking litigation.
Atlanta partners John Dalton and William Withrow, along with Richmond partners David Anthony, Stephen Northup, Russell Palmore, James Roberts and John West, were deemed “local litigation stars." Atlanta partners Michael Johnson and Thomas Reilly were singled out as “future stars.” Commentary specific to each attorney’s practice was mentioned in the state section of the litigation guide.
Every year, Benchmark researchers conduct extensive face-to-face interviews in order to get the most accurate feedback about the market. In the national section of the guide, Benchmark provides an overview of those firms and attorneys capable of handling complex cases anywhere in the country across all practice areas, and asks sources to name the best firms in the nation for any type of complex business matter. These firms are noted for their handling of cases effectively, and are consistently renowned within the U.S. business and legal community for the quality of their trial work and their litigation professionals.
Benchmark also highlights the most consistently recommended “bet-the-company” firms and professionals in ten key business litigation practice areas including appellate, antitrust, bankruptcy, general commercial, insurance, intellectual property, international arbitration, products liability, securities, and white-collar crime. Its researchers poll leading legal professionals, in-house counsel, and business owners in each of these ten areas in order to determine the nation’s top firms and top partners in each category.
Regional and local expertise is also a crucial factor in high-stakes litigation, and in the second section of the guide, Benchmark identifies the leading litigation firms and partners in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Each state chapter includes: rankings of the top local litigation firms in the state; rankings of the top “local litigation stars” in each state; rankings of the “future stars” in each state; and, editorials on each of the ranked firms.
