Troutman Pepper has received the 2022 Champion of the Bar award from the Philadelphia Bar Association for the firm’s exceptional service with the organization. Created in 2020, the Champion of the Bar Award is given annually to a law firm, law department, legal services organization, or law school in Philadelphia that has fully supported the Association through 100% membership, leadership roles, member engagement, and contribution to the community through public service.
“We have a long and valued partnership with the Philadelphia Bar Association,” said Troutman Pepper Managing Partner Tom Cole. “Troutman Pepper is proud to continue our legacy of service with the Association and to help advance its noble mission and work. This recognition is the result of the hard work of the hundreds of attorneys within our firm who are invested in strengthening our profession and our justice system through their service.”
“Troutman Pepper has made myriad significant contributions to our Association, dating back several decades,” said Harvey Hurdle, executive director of the Philadelphia Bar Association. “Countless Troutman Pepper attorneys have served in Association leadership roles over the decades, including as the Association’s chancellor and on its Board of Governors. We appreciate the firm’s longstanding support of our Association and are honored to recognize Troutman Pepper as our 2022 Bar Champion.”
Troutman Pepper Associate Steve Bertil also was recognized by the Philadelphia Bar Association, receiving one of the Real Property Section’s 2022 Bar Star awards for his commitment to the organization. Bertil, who focuses his practice on land use and zoning matters, has been a member of the Real Property Section since 2017, serving as secretary in 2021 and vice chair in 2022. He is currently on the ballot for 2023 section chair.
“I am honored to be recognized as a 2022 Bar Star for the Real Property Section and believe strongly in its mission to provide members with opportunities to meet, network, and share expertise with other attorneys practicing real estate and real property law,” Bertil said.
Bertil and Troutman Pepper were honored during the organization’s annual Member Appreciation Reception and Awards Ceremony on Nov. 15.
