Addition Follows Record Year for Attorney Growth in Greenberg Traurig’s Global Real Estate Practice
PHILADELPHIA – Feb. 7, 2022 – Greenberg Traurig, LLP’s award-winning Global Real Estate Practice continues its onward march with attorney growth, including in its Philadelphia office which began 2022 by bringing aboard William M. Krogh as an of counsel in the practice.
While many companies experienced “The Great Resignation,” the real estate team at Greenberg Traurig bolstered its global roster in key markets worldwide by strategically recruiting attorneys with deep experience and real estate sector knowledge.
The global practice grew its overall roster by four dozen attorneys globally, and Krogh is the latest such hire for the Philadelphia office. Greenberg Traurig’s Philadelphia Real Estate team now stands at 12 core members, comprising 20% of the office’s attorneys, whereas four years ago the team comprised less than 10%.
“We have been methodical and strategic in our expansion here — focused on amplifying the practices where the greatest opportunities lie — and real estate remains central to that outlook,” said Curtis B. Toll, managing shareholder for the Philadelphia office. “As the recovery of our economy unfolds regionally and locally, the real estate market continues to reflect changes in corporate and consumer demands at an accelerated pace.
“Our Philadelphia team can provide the full-scale, market-leading legal representation for which our firm is known, regardless of location, complexity of transactional or asset class,” Toll said. “We are here to service our clients and compete in this market. Will’s presence is a key part of that plan.”
Formerly of Klehr Harrison Harvey Branzburg LLP, Krogh represents institutional lenders, equity investors, developers, operating partners, and others with a host of real estate matters, holding degrees from Brown University and the (now) George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School. His presence and experience –including admissions in Pennsylvania and New York – further deepens the offerings for local and national clients who engage the Philadelphia-based team.
