Greenberg Traurig is a global law firm founded in South Florida in 1967. It now operates across 51 locations in 15 countries, with more than 3,100 attorneys serving commercial and business clients worldwide. The firm has grown entirely through lateral hires rather than mergers, remaining a single unified entity throughout its nearly six decades in operation.
The firm offers a full range of legal services to corporate and commercial clients, with particular emphasis on building long-term client relationships. Its organisational model is deliberately decentralised: clients deal directly with decision-makers rather than navigating management layers. Greenberg Traurig claims to have earned more Chambers Global rankings than any other firm.
Internally, the firm places weight on an entrepreneurial, non-bureaucratic culture. Professionals are expected to exercise independent judgment and take ownership of client matters. The firm grows its ranks through lateral hiring, which shapes a workforce that tends to be self-directed and accustomed to operating without heavy institutional scaffolding.
