Law 2024: ROBERT P. BEAMAN III

His clients include leaders in the retail, manufacturing, energy, hospitality, entertainment and residential industries. He’s experienced in working with local government offices on zoning requests.

After graduating from the University of Virginia, Beaman worked as a title examiner for a year before earning his law degree at William & Mary Law School. Beaman joined Troutman Pepper in 2007 and was named partner in 2017. 

He’s a member of the board of directors for Virginia Beach Vision, a business advocacy group.

Troutman Pepper has more than 1,100 attorneys located in more than 20 cities. Law.com reported in July that Troutman Pepper’s merger with Locke Lord, creating a firm with $1.6 billion annual revenue, would likely close by the end of 2024.
