What You Need to Know
- With the announcement of two mergers over the past week, Troutman Pepper Hamilton & Sanders and Ballard Spahr are growing outside of Philadelphia.
- Data gathered by Compass shows that several other Philadelphia-founded firms aren’t growing their presences in the city, with consultants and leaders suggesting that Philadelphia is less friendly to businesses.
- Yet Philadelphia remains an appealing market, given its lower operating and real estate costs.
After inking merger deals earlier this month, Troutman Pepper Hamilton & Sanders and Ballard Spahr are both expanding beyond their Philadelphia roots into Texas and the Pacific Northwest.
Troutman Pepper and Locke Lord held their partnership vote regarding their long-awaited merger, which passed with flying colors on Sept. 5, and Ballard Spahr announced its own unanimous partnership vote to combine with Pacific Northwest firm Lane Powell on Sept. 9.
