Troutman Sanders Garners Top Rankings in Chambers USA

June 7, 2012

ATLANTA - Troutman Sanders and its attorneys have garnered top rankings - including more than a dozen No. 1 rankings - in Chambers and Partners' 2012 edition of Chambers USA.

Every year, Chambers and Partners conducts thousands of interviews and surveys with lawyers and their clients, as well as analyzes its own database resources, to determine which law firms and individual attorneys rank the highest based on their strengths and reputations within the legal industry. 

In addition to law firms and individual lawyers being ranked numerically, nationally or by specific state, further categories exist in which lawyers can be ranked as exceptional individuals, including Senior Statesman and Up and Coming lawyer.

Once again, the firm ranked No. 1 in Energy, Environment and Intellectual Property. Attorneys Ezra Cohen and June Ann Sauntry each ranked as a Senior Statesman, and attorney Kevin Greene was designated a Star, the highest ranking offered by Chambers. Attorneys Robert Angle, Margaret Campbell, Dabney Carr, John Dalton, Gary Dixon, Robert Edwards Jr., Ira Genberg, Doug Henderson, John Johnson, Ed Kidd, Mark Newman and Frank Riggs also ranked No. 1 in several different legal categories (see complete listing below).

Attorneys Lynne C. Rhode and Andrea L. Rimer appeared in Chambers' rankings for the first time.
