Troutman Pepper Strategies has a long history of working with people across state government. We are positioned to immediately add value through our team’s reach and strong ethical reputation. We have an extensive history of working with state and local governments, and we are deeply “plugged in.” Our team members have been appointed by Republican and/or Democratic governors and legislative leaders to serve on policy transition teams, as well as foundation boards and advisory councils. TPS’ track record of working to successfully pass complex legislative proposals and budget initiatives centers on the core principles of integrity, transparency, and accountability. We believe these guiding principles of professionalism are the most effective tools for successful the passage of legislation, no matter which party controls the legislative process.
