    The international law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP has elevated 29 attorneys to shareholder and 22 to of counsel positions.

    New York, NY (PRWEB) February 10, 2012

    The international law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP has elevated 29 attorneys to shareholder and 22 to of counsel positions. Reflecting the firm's diversified platform and wide-ranging legal experience, the new 2012 class represents 22 different locations and key areas of practice, including business reorganization and financial restructuring, corporate and securities, intellectual property, labor and employment, litigation, real estate and tax.

    "Our unique business strategy continues to make sense for our clients and our lawyers alike: one firm, having an intense focus on adding to and further elevating the quality and integration of our 29 locations in the United States and a disciplined global reach,” said Richard A. Rosenbaum, Chief Executive Officer of Greenberg Traurig. “We are very proud of the dedication the attorneys elevated in the 2012 class and of their sustained commitment to addressing client needs.”

    Greenberg Traurig clients have access to more than 20 major practice groups as well as a significant number of industry-specific teams working from 33 offices in an ever-increasing number of markets. In 2011, the firm opened an office in Mexico City and announced the opening of an office in Tel Aviv for early 2012. Additionally, Greenberg Traurig had a number of high-profile hires. The firm ranks fourth nationwide on The American Lawyer 2012 Lateral Report "Top Gaining Firms: Lateral Partner Hires" list, with 46 shareholders joining the firm in 2011.

    Demonstrating what Rosenbaum calls “an unusually wide and deep range of top tier signature practices and industry penetration," the firm achieved the most overall first-tier rankings, most first-tier metropolitan rankings and most practice areas with first-tier rankings for the United States in the U.S. News Media Group and Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms” rankings, 2011-2012.
