Practice Areas & Industries: Greenberg Traurig, P.A.

Practice/Industry Group Overview

With a team of more than 500 attorneys, Greenberg Traurig’s litigation practice offers firsthand experience and wide-ranging resources to protect clients’ interests in virtually every area of litigation. We are trial lawyers who regularly appear in state and federal courts throughout the country, as well as in appellate courts and before international arbitration panels.

We have tried many cases to verdict – and have the in-house legal and technological capabilities to efficiently handle dockets of cases numbering in the thousands. We also understand that going to trial often is not in a company’s best interest. Each of our clients have individual business goals that require varying litigation techniques. Therefore, we work closely with in-house counsel to develop a strategy – from strategic settlement to mediation to trying the case – that best fits a litigation cost and proficiency model appropriate to the client’s unique needs.

Services Available

With the firm’s national footprint, we are able to deliver our services and handle cases in multiple jurisdictions with the dedication, responsiveness and local knowledge of a boutique firm, backed by the breadth and depth of resources of one of the largest law firms in the United States.

Working with our Clients

GT’s litigation team is dedicated to increasing the experience and familiarity of our clients’ in-house counsel with our litigation defenses and strategies.

• Educate counsel on science, medical literature, plaintiff strategies and defenses in a given case, using outside consultants where appropriate
