With the strategic addition of Courtney, Greenberg Traurig will further enhance our presence in Texas while adding depth to the corporate practice by providing top-tier global transactional technology experience coupled with the ability to seamlessly work across multiple industries. It’s an honor to welcome such a highly regarded attorney to the firm, as she encompasses the same core qualities that we hold close, such as a commitment to excellence, dedication to clients, and passion for the legal community,” said Richard A.
