“We are honored to receive this prestigious award,” said Richard A. Rosenbaum, CEO of Greenberg Traurig. “Since we are the only global firm that was born in Miami, we have been involved in Latin America for decades and our team is well deserving of this recognition.

We are proud of our team and this validation of our model in a new world.”
