The award, which has been given to the firm for the third time – and in 2016 and 2017 - was based on nominations made by fellow LBA members and voted on by 750 member companies. The annual award is presented to firms for their expertise in working with the business community and the construction industry in South Florida.

“We are very grateful to have both the honor and opportunity to serve the members of the Latin Builders Association,” Escarra said. “Since Greenberg Traurig’s founding 50 years ago, we have been a leader in helping to shape the growth of Miami-Dade County, and working closely with the association’s members has been an important part of that endeavor.”
