PHILADELPHIA (June 5, 2014) – International law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP continues to grow the firm’s Business Immigration & Compliance practice and EB-5 group with the addition of Matthew Galati in the firm’s Philadelphia office. Galati joins the firm this week from Klasko, Rulon, Stock & Seltzer, LLP.

Galati regularly handles employment-based nonimmigrant and immigrant visas, including E-2, H-1B, L-1, and O-1 classifications, among many others. He earned his B.A. from University of Virginia and his J.D. from George Washington University.
