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.
