PHILADELPHIA Aug. 24, 2020 – The 2021 edition of Best Lawyers in America ranks 13 practitioners based in the Philadelphia office of global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP. Additionally, seven other lawyers were included in the inaugural Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch listing.

Compiled through independent peer review that assesses lawyers across the country, these latest rankings highlighted eight distinct practice areas in the Philadelphia office: labor and employment law; commercial litigation; real estate law; insurance law; immigration law; environmental law; health care law; and public finance law.

The 2021 Best Lawyers list also welcomed two newcomers under the Greenberg Traurig Philadelphia banner – Alex Scarola, a public finance shareholder, and A. Michael Pratt, a commercial and financial services litigator.

“Our office has continued its strong growth in numbers of lawyers in recent years, and we have cultivated and supported excellence among our team,” said Managing Shareholder Curtis B. Toll. “Our team is diverse and we all share a deep commitment to providing our clients high quality legal services that can meet their needs in a cost-focused manner.”
