Greenberg Traurig

Greenberg Traurig LLP is a world-renowned law firm with a total estimate of 1,800 lawyers and government experts. It is considered as the seventh biggest US law firm, according to several prominent lawyers. It is headed by Cesar L. Alvarez and Larry J. Hoffman, the company’s founder and chairman. The firm’s managers function in Miami, Florida, where it holds its main operations and administrative headquarters.

IGreenberg Traurig currently has 32 offices in various parts of Europe (in London, United Kingdom, in Brussels, Belgium and in Milan and Rome, Italy), Asia (in Tokyo, Japan and recently in Shanghai, China), and the United States.

The law firm also has established pro bono programs namely the Greenberg Traurig Fellowship Foundation and the Family Court Legal Services Project.

The Fellowship sponsors Equal Justice Works—a nonprofit entity that focuses on careers in public service for attorneys—to back legal fellows in the country, providing legal assistances to community initiatives. These public initiative law partnerships start every September and operate for two years. Formed in 1997, the Fellowship has since supported, in whole or in partial, over 85 fellows who have worked on public interest programs in the communities the law firm practices.

Because of Equal Justice Works, Greenberg Traurig Fellowships can provide loan repayment and salary assistances as well as a statewide training and headship enhancement programs.

The Family Court Legal Services Project, on the other hand, is a distinct pro bono project that lets lawyers from corporations and firms offer counsel and advice in its 30-minute one-on-one consultations to pro se litigants. These litigants come to family court on issues associated with custody, paternity, guardianship, visitation, and child support.

Driven by its dedication to pro bono, the law firm also assisted the New York City Family Court Legal Services advance in its efforts to offer free legal advice to low-income litigants in family court.
