MIAMI – Sept. 4, 2025 – For the ninth year, global law firm Greenberg Traurig, P.A. is recognized as a “Florida Regional Powerhouse” by Law360 for successfully representing clients in key transactions and cases that impact the region.
Founded in Miami in 1967, Greenberg Traurig now has 2,850 attorneys in 49 locations, including six Florida offices – Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Orlando, Tallahassee, Tampa, and West Palm Beach. With 400+ Florida attorneys, the firm has the largest presence in the state of any AmLaw 20 firm, according to the AmLaw100.
“From negotiating financing deals for high-profile real estate projects to securing litigation victories, our Florida attorneys are committed to serving our clients and communities statewide,” Greenberg Traurig Senior Chairman Matthew B. Gorson said. “For nearly 60 years we have been deeply invested – professionally and personally – in supporting Florida’s growth and remaining at the forefront of its evolution.”
The Florida Real Estate and Land Use practices guided RIDA Development and Ares Management through the acquisition of the Hyatt Regency Orlando and a 45-acre adjacent future development parcel for approximately $1.07 billion, the largest single-asset sale in Hyatt history. The team also advised SouthState Bank in connection with its $467-million sale-leaseback of 165 bank branches throughout the Southeast and helped the Related Group negotiate and close nearly $2 billion in construction loans for projects statewide, including the St. Regis Residences Miami and the second phase of the Ritz-Carlton Residences Tampa.
The Florida Litigation Practice secured impactful victories across the state. The team obtained an appellate victory on behalf of The Palm Beach Post, leading to the long-awaited release of grand jury transcripts from the state’s 2006 prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein. The litigation team also prevailed for GlobeNet Cabos Submarinos America, Caribbean Crossings, and several big tech companies in a state court lawsuit that set a precedent for future cases involving sovereign submerged lands in Florida. Additionally, they won at trial in a $50-million trademark infringement and counterfeiting case for Shenzhen Kinwong, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of printed circuit boards, and defeated a lawsuit seeking the demolition of RDR Seashore LLC’s $1-billion Residences by Armani/Casa in Sunny Isles Beach.
Greenberg Traurig’s Corporate Practice guided clients on significant transactions, including representing Alani Nutrition, a health and wellness drinks brand, in its $1.8-billion sale to Boca Raton-based Celsius Holdings; and advising Acuren Corporation in its definitive $1.7-billion merger agreement with NV5 Global, Inc to create an industry-leading engineering services company. The firm also helped Vertical Bridge acquire the exclusive rights to lease, operate, and manage 6,339 wireless communications towers from Verizon for $3.3 billion, the largest U.S. tower transaction in almost a decade. The team’s Florida attorneys also advised Procaps Group, a leading integrated Latin American pharmaceutical and health care company, on a $130-million equity investment, $209-million debt restructuring, and strategic leadership transition, laying the groundwork for its turnaround and preservation of over 5,000 jobs.
The Florida Public Finance & Infrastructure Practice assisted government and private entities with billions in bond issuances and financings. The team advised Brightline on an innovative $5.5 billion recapitalization, including more than $3.1 billion in tax-exempt bonds, the largest private-activity bond issuance in 2024 and the first investment-grade debt for American high-speed rail. The team also represented Miami-Dade County in a deal to issue about $923 million in aviation revenue refunding bonds for capital improvements at Miami International Airport and advised the State of Florida on issuing $275 million in turnpike revenue bonds to fund capital improvement projects for Florida’s turnpike system.
