Greenberg Traurig named US Law Firm of the Year
Law Firm News
Greenberg Traurig, an international law firm with offices in Orlando, was named the USA Law Firm of the Year by Chambers and Partners at a Nov. 8 awards ceremony in London.
The Chambers Global Awards Program honors excellence in legal services in countries around the world. Finalists are determined by independent research carried out during the prior year, with the winning firms selected by a panel that includes international corporate buyers of legal services.
Among the reasons why judges tapped the firm for the honor: Greenberg Traurig's commitment "to providing a broad national and international service to clients," as well as its "track record of working on big-ticket transactions."
Other law firm finalists for this award included: Latham & Watkins LLP, Ropes & Gray LLP, Kirkland & Ellis LLP, Hogan & Hartson LLP and Morrison & Foerster LLP. In 2006, Greenberg Traurig and Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP were selected as runners-up for the award.
"The award is more than a tribute to the commitment to excellence by every member of our team -- it is a tribute to our clients," says Michael Sullivan, co-managing shareholder of Greenberg Traurig's Orlando office.
"On behalf of the Greenberg Traurig team, we thank our clients for this significant accolade," adds Orlando Evora, co-managing shareholder of the Orlando office.
Greenberg Traurig LLP is an international, full-service law firm with more than 1,700 attorneys and governmental affairs professionals in the U.S. and Europe. Florida offices include Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Tallahassee, Tampa and West Palm Beach.
The law firm has 55 attorneys in Orlando.
Since 1969, Chambers and Partners has published The Chambers Guide, which lists the top lawyers in 175 countries.

Illinois Work Injury Lawyers – Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD.
Accidents in the workplace are often caused by unsafe work conditions arising from ignoring safety rules, overlooking maintenance or other negligence of those in management. While we are one of the largest firms in Illinois dedicated solely to the representation of injured workers, we pride ourselves on the personal, one-on-one approach we deliver to each client.
Work accidents can cause serious injuries and sometimes permanent damage. Some extremely serious work injuries can permanently hinder a person’s ability to get around and continue their daily duties. Factors that affect one’s quality of life such as place of work, relationships with friends and family, and social standing can all be taken away quickly by a work injury. Although, you may not be able to recover all of your losses, you may be entitled to compensation as a result of your work injury. Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD. provides informed advocacy in all kinds of workers’ compensation claims, including:
• Injuries to the back and neck, including severe spinal cord injuries
• Serious head injuries
• Heart problems resulting from workplace activities
• Injuries to the knees, elbows, shoulders and other joints
• Injuries caused by repetitive movements
For Illinois Workers’ Compensation claims, you will ALWAYS cheat yourself if you do not hire an experienced attorney. When you hire Krol, Bongiorno & Given, Ltd, you will have someone to guide you through the process, and when it is time to settle, we will add value to your case IN EXCESS of our fee. In the last few years, employers and insurance carriers have sought to advance the argument that when you settle a case without an attorney, your already low settlement should be further reduced by 20% so that you do not get a “windfall.” Representing yourself in Illinois is a lose-lose proposition.
