About Troutman SEED

Troutman Pepper Locke’s program for Startups and Emerging Growth Companies

We know that the many consequential legal decisions happen before a company’s first dollar is raised, a time when resource allocation is critical (every dollar is mapped out) and the stakes are highest. That is why we created a program that meets founders where they are. The Troutman Pepper Locke SEEDTM Program is designed for Start-Ups and Emerging Growth Companies that are building transformative businesses and need experienced, efficient and practical legal counsel.

Our startup and emerging growth company clients depend on our deep industry and market expertise and guidance throughout every phase of their business life cycle and we provide comprehensive, affordable legal services from an experienced, multidisciplinary team that understands the unique pressures of scaling a new venture. Our focus is on delivering actionable advice, clear documentation and responsive support for all aspects of a client’s business, from formation and day-to-day general counselling, financing and scaling, and their eventual merger, acquisition, or IPO exit. Troutman Pepper Locke’s SEED Program and platform of legal services to Start-Ups and Emerging Growth Companies is designed in a way that works in parallel with your growth; we are on this journey with you.

We are not just lawyers. We are strategic partners who understand the innovation economy, the venture ecosystem, and the operational pressures of scaling a new venture.  We are glad you are here.
