Why Philadelphia? | Living in Philadelphia | Philadelphia Links

Pepper is one of the largest law firms in Philadelphia and enjoys a reputation second to none. Recent examples of our success include:

• our commercial litigators won a $68 million judgment for our client in an antitrust suit against the world's largest manufacturer of transparent tape.
• our securities and tax lawyers helped structure and close a series of securities offerings in which one client, a publicly held telecommunications company, raised approximately $750 million in one year.
• our employee benefits lawyers won three separate class action claims totaling about $870 million in a four-week period. Two of those cases reached appellate courts; in both cases the U.S. Supreme Court refused further review.
• our corporate lawyers helped stop a multibillion-dollar hostile takeover, leading to a much better deal for our client.
• as national counsel for a medical device manufacturer, our health effects lawyers crafted a unified defense that resulted in dismissal of more than 150 product liability suits across the nation. Fewer than a dozen claims survived summary judgment.
• our securities lawyers handled the $15 million initial public offering of a health care technology company.
• our health effects litigators won affirmation by the Third Circuit of summary judgment on 10 "test cases" alleging health effects from radiation exposure from the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant.
