Troutman Strategies

What Troutman Strategies does

Troutman Strategies (legal entity: Troutman Pepper Locke Strategies LLC) is a U.S. government affairs and public policy firm founded in 2002 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. It operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Troutman Pepper Locke LLP, a Georgia limited liability partnership with more than 1,600 attorneys across 30+ U.S. and U.K. offices and a 135-year lineage. The firm delivers bipartisan lobbying, coalition building, grassroots/grasstops campaigns, political and PAC strategy, procurement and government-contracts support, public-private partnerships, and corporate strategic communications across federal, state, and local jurisdictions. It also offers a Tax Incentives + Relocation Consulting service line and maintains dedicated industry-vertical coverage in Telecommunications/Technology, Financial Services/Fintech, Healthcare/Public Health/Health IT, Higher Education, Insurance, Energy/Environment/Natural Resources, Agriculture/Food/Tobacco/Cannabis, Tax/Trade, Transportation/Infrastructure, and Budget/Appropriations.

The firm is structured into practitioner tiers (Chair, Principals, Strategic Advisors, Directors, Senior Managers, Managers, Specialists) and runs eight offices across Atlanta, Washington D.C., Austin, Houston, Boston, Chicago, Richmond, and Virginia Beach. Its federal affairs division (D.C.) is staffed by former Senate and House legislative staff, including alumni of the offices of Senators Menendez, Murray, Begich, Fetterman, and Brownback, while state benches are staffed by former governors' office staff, state legislators (e.g., Illinois State Senator Kirk Dillard, 1994-2014), and former legislative committee leadership. In March 2026 the firm deepened its integration with Troutman Pepper Locke's Regulatory Investigations, Strategy + Enforcement (RISE) practice, packaging combined government-affairs and regulatory-enforcement capabilities into a unified offering.

Commercially, Troutman Strategies runs a relationship-based B2B professional services model, selling quote-based engagements to Fortune 500 corporates, trade associations, nonprofit organizations, institutions of higher education, and municipalities/government entities. No proprietary technology platform exists; engagements are delivered by human practitioners with documented billable outcomes (e.g., Georgia tort reform SB 68/SB 69, Texas 5G legislation, Georgia's first autonomous-vehicle statute, statewide TNC framework in Texas, and federal appropriations secured via community project funding). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows standard government-affairs firm convention of custom retainers scoped to client objectives. There are no funding rounds, outside investors, M&A, or subsidiary entities - the firm is wholly owned by and operated under Troutman Pepper Locke LLP.
