For the 6th consecutive year, Greenberg Traurig has been selected as the best corporate law firm in Miami by directors serving on boards of publicly traded companies. The results were published in Corporate Board Member magazine's annual Legal Industry Research Study, sponsored by FTI Consulting.

Corporate Board Member/FTI Consulting's annual study identifies the top 20 national corporate law firms and the top five corporate law firms in 25 major metropolitan areas, based on ballots submitted by directors serving on boards of publicly traded companies listed with the NASDAQ Stock Market, New York Stock Exchange, or American Stock Exchange.

"This recognition is especially meaningful to us because it comes from clients and people directly affected by the constantly changing legal and regulatory environment," said Gary Epstein, chair of Greenberg Traurig's national corporate practice. "We work hard to establish and maintain continued confidence and respect of corporate directors, and we are proud and grateful when our efforts are rewarded like this. I believe that we share this recognition with the other Greenberg Traurig corporate lawyers in South Florida, with whom we work on a regular basis, and, in a broader sense, with the entire national corporate practice group, whose resources are always available to us."

"Doing well in our survey has become a singular badge of honor, for the very reason that it doesn't come from the law firms' peers," said William S. Rukeyser, editorial director of Corporate Board Member. "It's an accolade from their customers -- the directors, executives and general counsel who hire them, pay their bills, and thrive or suffer from their advice."

The 40 attorneys in Greenberg Traurig's Corporate and Securities Practice in Miami represent both public and privately-held clients in a wide range of industries and in transactions ranging from multi-billion dollar acquisitions to private equity transactions as well as public and private offerings of securities.
