NEW YORK – Sept. 30, 2025 – Greenberg Traurig, LLP’s New York Government Law & Policy Practice is named among the top five on City & State’s 2025 “Top 50 New York Lobbyists” list.
According to the publication, the annual list ranks the firms “based on 2024 lobbying compensation reported to the state Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government.” Greenberg Traurig is ranked No. 4 overall on the list.
City & State’s Top 50 Lobbyists profile noted Greenberg Traurig’s biggest achievements, including securing $20 million in funding for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in New York/New Jersey, successfully advancing the Greek Orthodox bill to amend the New York Religious Corporations Law — adding the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese to the list of hierarchical churches exempt from notifying the attorney general when seeking court approval to mortgage, lease, or sell property — and supporting the renewal of the Relocation and Employment Assistance Program (REAP). Additionally, select team members provided strategic representation to Dorcey Applyrs, Sean Ryan, and Sharon Owens, winners of the Democratic primaries for mayor in Albany, Buffalo, and Syracuse, respectively.
