Driving organizational change through comprehensive office services

NEW YORK – Oct. 7, 2025 – Epiq announced the expansion of its long-standing partnership with Troutman Pepper Locke LLP to support operational transformation across the firm’s US offices. This initiative is supported by the Epiq Global Business Transformation Solutions (Epiq GBTS) division.

The merger of Troutman Pepper and Locke Lord earlier this year marked the creation of one of the 30 largest legal operations in the United States. With this expanded scale and reach, Troutman set its sights on deepening operational sophistication and positioning itself for sustained growth and innovation in a rapidly evolving legal landscape.

Burt, Chief Administrative Officer at Troutman. “Their deep expertise and scalable solutions gave us confidence that Epiq will continue to be a strong partner as we unify and elevate our operations.”
As part of the expanded engagement, Epiq will lead several strategic initiatives to strengthen the firm’s operational foundation.

• Enhancing operational management across all offices to ensure seamless service delivery.

• Elevating staffing quality and consistency to support a premium client experience.
• Providing an enterprise-level operational leader to align day-to-day execution with strategic goals. 

“Troutman’s expanded footprint demands a partner with the scale, precision, and expertise to deliver consistent excellence across every location. Epiq is proud to deepen our relationship, bringing tailored solutions that not only meet today’s operational needs but also anticipate the firm’s evolving priorities,” said Michelle Deichmeister, President and General Manager, Global Business Transformation Solutions, Epiq.  “Our commitment is to deliver measurable impact through seamless service and strategic partnership.”
