Leading Lobbying Firm Celebrates Growth and New Name: Troutman Sanders
Strategies

WASHINGTON, July 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Troutman Sanders Public Affairs Group
(TSPAG), an accomplished, bi-partisan governmental affairs firm on Capitol
Hill and across the country, has changed its name to Troutman Sanders
Strategies. The D.C. office has a proven track record of success with
agribusiness, appropriations, trade, energy, environment and transportation
issues among others.
"The name change reflects the firm's substantial growth since its founding
in 2002 and its expanding business and geographic presence," said Pete
Robinson, Chairman of Troutman Sanders Strategies.
"We've chosen a name that better defines a national firm that impacts
government through advocacy," said Rob Leebern, who leads the Washington
office. He noted that Troutman Sanders Strategies has grown from a single
office into a comprehensive, bi-partisan, national-issue management firm with
offices in Washington, D.C., Atlanta and Richmond, with more than 20 federal
and state lobbyists.
Troutman Sanders Public Affairs Group was founded six years ago by
Troutman Sanders LLP, a 111-year-old international law firm with more than 650
attorneys and 12 offices in North America, Europe and Asia. In addition,
Troutman Sanders LLP recently announced it will merge with Ross, Dixon & Bell
LLP, a 100-lawyer firm with offices in Washington, D.C., Chicago, San Diego
and Orange County, California.
The rapid growth of Troutman Sanders Strategies has been partially fueled
by the acquisition of veteran, top-notch talent and practices. Robinson said
the firm's lobbyists are executing on everything from Capitol Hill's major
federal legislation battles to state procurement issues, coalition building
and grasstops advocacy, while also leading the way in public-private
partnership initiatives. This has helped the firm develop into a "truly
full-service practice."
"We have always followed the philosophy that average and ordinary are not
good enough, and we intend to showcase that in 2008," said Robinson. "This is
an incredibly talented and focused group of veterans with proven expertise
across the board as shown by our many satisfied clients."
