Strategic Advocacy for Complex, High-Stakes Disputes

When the stakes are high in complex disputes, many of the world’s leading businesses choose Greenberg Traurig litigators to represent them. Working out of more than 50 offices across 13 countries on four continents, our litigation attorneys bring a combination of courtroom experience, strategic sophistication, global knowledge, and well-deserved recognition that is difficult to match.

From the United States, South America, and Europe to the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, the scale of Greenberg Traurig’s Global Litigation Practice provides the depth and breadth of legal counsel necessary for vigorous advocacy regardless of a dispute’s complexity or size. 

We understand that whatever the nature of the dispute, the course of action, from contemplation of potential litigation through final resolution (whether through settlement, mediation, arbitration, trial, or appeal), demands careful strategy, deep knowledge, appropriate resources, and the ability to execute under pressure. Greenberg Traurig’s Global Litigation Practice has built its reputation on delivering exactly that across some of the most complex disputes in the most challenging jurisdictions around the world.

Every matter is unique, and we approach each one with the attention and thoroughness it deserves. Whether an organization is facing a single high-stakes dispute or managing a broad portfolio of litigation across multiple jurisdictions, Greenberg Traurig has the focus, resources, and experience to serve our clients’ needs effectively and efficiently. We work closely with our clients to develop a coordinated strategic approach to each litigation matter, accounting for the full range of legal, business, and reputational considerations, distinct to each matter.

Depth of Knowledge and Skill Across Industries and Geographies

The strength of Greenberg Traurig’s Global Litigation Practice lies in our ability to match the skills of our individual attorneys with a team assembled and deployed to fit the client’s particular needs. We craft client teams from our wide-ranging platform of practices and geographic regions, drawing on our combination of industry and client knowledge, forum experience, and litigation and appellate experience to best meet each matter’s unique requirements.

Our wide-ranging jurisdictional capabilities across the United States allow us to manage portfolios of matters and multidistrict litigation in whatever jurisdiction a matter is venued. We understand the procedural rules, judicial temperaments, local practices and social norms, and juror perspectives that can make a meaningful difference in litigation, and we bring that knowledge to bear on every matter we handle.

Trial-Ready at Every Stage

Our vast trial experience is a defining characteristic of Greenberg Traurig’s Global Litigation Practice. Our attorneys have tried more than 1,700 trials across the world, including in the federal and state courts across the United States, as well as the highest courts of other jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom Supreme Court. Our attorneys also have handled vast numbers of arbitration proceedings, including international arbitration under various international rules. That experience does more than prepare us for the courtroom; it informs every aspect of how we approach a matter, from the way we develop a theory of the case at the initiation of the engagement, to the way we conduct discovery and prepare witnesses and appropriate pretrial motions throughout the discovery process. Understanding what a trial might look like at the initiation of a case guides decisions about the incremental benefit of each action balanced against its cost. This also enables us to deliver strategic and creative alternatives when trial is not in our clients’ best interests, whether that means pursuing early resolution, alternative dispute resolution, or other approaches tailored to the specific circumstances of the matter. In addition, this experience and our trial reputation creates leverage in settlement negotiations.

Our attorneys are prepared to take any case to trial and are experienced at managing litigation at every stage of the process: from pre-litigation counseling and early case assessment through discovery, motion practice, trial, and appeal. At the same time, our wide-ranging trial experience gives us a clear-eyed view of when and how cases can be resolved short of trial. Knowing when to fight and when to resolve is a skill itself, and it is one that our clients benefit from at every stage of a matter.
