Dick Troop is currently a Senior Advisor to Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton, LLP. Prior to joining Sheppard, Mullin, Dick was a founder of Troop, Steuber, Pasich, Reddick & Tobey, LLP (formerly Hill, Wynne, Troop & Meisinger), a major Los Angeles based commercial law firm, which merged with Akin Gump in January 2001.

For more than 30 years, Dick has been actively engaged in counseling and representing a wide range of public and private corporate clients, as well as investment banks and institutional investors, in most types of corporate and securities transactions. Dick has served as lead issuer or underwriters’ counsel on over 100 initial public offerings and other registered and 144A debt and equity securities offerings. His practice has also included representation on the buy-side, the sell-side and the banking side, of a substantial number of M & A transactions (including hostile tender offers and proxy fights), ranging up to over $5 billion in size. Dick has significant experience and expertise with transactions involving technology-based clients, institutional entertainment clients and financial institutions, and has represented companies in a diverse universe of industries, including manufacturers of medical products, apparel, computers and computer peripherals, infant furniture and wood products, savings & loan associations, REITs and other financial institutions; department store chains and specialty retailers, and software providers and other service-based businesses.

Prior to graduating first in his class from law school, Dick was an electronic engineer. At Northrop Corporation, Dick was involved in digital design of elements of the navigation system of the SR-71 Blackbird Spy plane – the first military use of integrated circuits. At Hughes Aircraft, Dick was recruited into an advanced research group charged with projecting the state of digital technology in the mid-1980s, and designing novel computer organizations which would efficiently utilize that technology. While at Hughes, Dick was part of a team believed to have developed the first relational data base computer language (which was subsequently developed for use by the CIA), and was also involved in the development of massively parallel computer systems architectures.

Dick graduated from Loyola University School of Law, Los Angeles, California, Juris Doctor, magna cum laude, in 1969, where he served as Comment Editor of the Loyola Law Review. Honors included the William Tell Aeggler Award for superior scholarship and noteworthy achievement (awarded to the student graduating first in his or her class).
