Troutman Pepper has hired two real estate investment partners in Georgia from Morrison & Foerster, as the firm looks to take advantage of the pickup in demand in real estate corporate work.

Heath Linsky and Mary Katherine Rawls, who joined Troutman earlier this month, said all of their clients will be joining them at their new firm, adding their client base is all over the country. But with no clients currently in Atlanta, they said, they are hoping to expand in the region.
