WARSAW, Poland, April 29, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Warsaw Office of Greenberg Traurig was awarded the prestigious International Financial Law Review (IFLR) Poland Firm of the Year at the highly esteemed IFLR Europe Awards 2021.

"Greenberg Traurig impressed in 2020 with its continued growth and forward-thinking initiatives in areas such as legal tech. The firm was also quick to react to the difficult environment, among other things launching a novel COVID-19 pro bono programme to support SMEs in Poland. This innovation was reflected in GT's innovative transactional work, best exemplified by its role advising the large group of underwriters in the landmark Allegro IPO. The deal broke new ground in several ways, most notably by using a Luxembourg registered company and passporting the prospectus into Poland to list Allegro on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. In helping to bring Poland's largest ever IPO to a successful end, the team also employed entirely new processes to cater for the restrictions of COVID-19," said James Wilson, IFLR's Commercial Editor.

We sincerely thank you and hope to see you all in person at next year's IFLR Gala," said Lejb Fogelman, Senior Partner of the Warsaw Office of Greenberg Traurig.

We continue to spearhead this process – providing excellent client service, while maintaining our focus on the safety of our team and clients. This has been Greenberg Traurig's formula for success. While uncertainty is still present, I firmly believe in a positive outlook ahead.
