Troutman Pepper Locke Named 2025 Foundation Innovation Award Winner for Outstanding Implementation of Litera Foundation to Enhance Client Services
CHICAGO, July 1 - Litera, a global leader in legal technology solutions, has announced that Troutman Pepper Locke, a law firm with more than 1,600 attorneys across 32 U.S. offices, is the recipient of the inaugural 2025 Foundation Innovation Award. This accolade recognizes the firm's innovative use of Foundation to tackle data challenges including inconsistency and fragmentation, integration with existing systems, and accuracy in supporting decision-making. The award was presented to Carrie Remhof, Director of Firm Intelligence at Troutman Pepper Locke, at the second annual Groundbreakers Summit in Atlanta.
Litera Foundation, the market leader in experience management providing lawyers transparent access to their firm’s data, has been the cornerstone for law firms' business development and knowledge management teams for nearly a decade, revolutionizing the speed and quality of client responses. Moreover, countless firms have discovered that the centralized and accessible data provided by Foundation extends far beyond these initial applications. The Foundation Innovation Awards are designed to recognize these outstanding innovations within firms using Foundation. This year’s finalists include Arnold & Porter, Cleary Gottlieb, Frost Brown Todd and Perkins Coie.
"We launched the Foundation Innovation Awards to celebrate transformation leaders and the astounding business impact they achieve when they have access to the right data, at the right time, in the right place," said Litera CMO Cynthia Gumbert. "Troutman Pepper Locke has transformed Foundation into a catalyst for success—creating solutions far beyond its original vision. This achievement reflects their steadfast commitment to delivering exceptional value and driving meaningful progress in the legal industry."
Earlier this year, applicants responded to a call to action by Litera to submit detailed use cases showcasing how their efforts with Foundation impacted their firms in unique and innovative ways. Five finalists were then selected based on ratings from experts within the field from Litera, Harbor, Fireman & Company, and LKO Information Management Consulting. The winner was selected based on criteria that emphasized innovation, integration, and inspiration, including leveraging technologies to win business, defining organizational value, and inspiring others through creativity.
The Foundation user community, representing over 65 firms, recently convened at the second annual Groundbreakers Summit, a peer-focused event hosted by Troutman Pepper Locke featuring a series of 10 sessions led by 27 industry experts from Frost Brown Todd, Sidley Austin LLP, Fox Rothschild, Ropes & Gray, Cleary Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton, Litera and more. The two-day event was attended by 49 of the AmLaw 100 and featured an in-person Q&A session with Litera CEO Avaneesh Marwaha, who fielded questions from Foundation customers and presented the award to Remhof.
“We’re committed to continuous improvement, always moving forward, and not waiting for perfection before taking action,” said Carrie Remhof, Director of Firm Intelligence at Troutman Pepper Locke. “By integrating our fragmentated court docket data in Foundation, we are now able to find information more quickly than we were before, and the impact has been profound and multifaceted, touching various aspects of our operations and service delivery.”
