The firm’s client listening and value program, Troutman Pepper Plus, is up for an award in the Innovation in Client Delivery category, and its MobileOne app designed to improve employee experiences and work efficiencies is a finalist in the Innovation in People and Skills Management category.

Innovation in Client Delivery Finalist – Troutman Pepper Plus
Troutman Pepper Plus aims to connect clients with additional resources, create innovative solutions, and provide key insights to deliver efficiency and build stronger relationships. It combines the services of attorneys and skilled professionals across the firm to provide clients with tailored solutions in areas like client experience, innovation, diversity, pricing, legal project management, pro bono, and more.

Innovation in People and Skills Management Finalist – MobileOne
The firm’s MobileOne app was developed in-house and seeks to improve the employee experience by providing critical information all in one place for users. Standout features include those designed to facilitate face-to-face connections and professional development opportunities. Individuals, practices, and knowledge professionals use geolocation to “check in” and to identify who is in the office at any given time.

The annual FT Innovative Lawyers Awards North America report is developed by FT in partnership with RSGi Consulting. Winners are selected following a nomination cycle and extensive research that includes telephone interviews, questionnaires, and reviews. Market experts are also called in to assess the submissions and research.
