NEW YORK, N.Y. (PRWEB) June 08, 2015 -- The international law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP has been named to the shortlist for the inaugural The Legal 500 United States Awards in the areas of “Labor and Employment – Immigration” and “Labor and Employment - Labor and Employment Litigation (including ERISA).” In addition, The Legal 500 United States 2015 guide to outstanding lawyers nationwide has just been released and recommends Greenberg Traurig as a “Top Tier” firm in the “Real Estate and Construction – Real Estate” category as well as 100-plus firm attorneys, and more than 25 firmwide areas of practice and industry focus.

The three Greenberg Traurig lawyers below are on the elite "Leading Lawyers" list in The Legal 500 United States 2015 guide:
• Lori G. Cohen: Litigation – Product Liability and Mass Tort Defense – Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices. Cohen is Chair of the firm’s Trial Practice Group and Chair of the firm’s Pharmaceutical, Medical Device & Health Care Litigation Group.
• Robert J. Ivanhoe: Real Estate and Construction – Real Estate. Ivanhoe is Co-Chair of the 200-plus-lawyer Global Real Estate Practice at Greenberg Traurig and Co-Chair of its REIT group.
• Laura Foote Reiff: Labor and Employment – Immigration. Foote Reiff is Co-Chair of the Business Immigration & Compliance Practice and Co-Managing Shareholder of the firm’s Northern Virginia office.

The Legal 500 United States Awards will recognize what the publisher calls the best in-house and private practice teams and individuals over the past 12 months. More than 50,000 interviews were conducted to ascertain the winners, who will be honored at a dinner at The Boathouse in Central Park on October 14, 2015. Published by Legalese, The Legal 500 guides (published by country or region) “provide research and law firm rankings to enable clients to identify the best law firm for the job.” Firms are recommended on merit, based on client and peer feedback.

Some of the commentary published in The Legal 500 United States 2015 guide regarding Greenberg Traurig and its attorneys includes:
• …lawyers at Greenberg Traurig LLP are ‘prompt, informed and to-the-point’…
• …Greenberg Traurig LLP ‘does extraordinary work’ on account of its ‘ability to understand the issues in depth, and present them simply, clearly, and in a compelling fashion to the court.’
