Greenberg Traurig, LLP

With excellent coverage throughout the country, including a particularly strong concentration of lawyers in Florida, California, and New York, Greenberg Traurig‘s ’highly responsive team works seamlessly together’ to provide ‘very pragmatic’ advice to clients in the defense of securities class actions, derivative lawsuits, SEC investigations and enforcement actions, irrespective of geographical location. The team also frequently works closely with lawyers in the White-Collar Defense and Investigations practice to better serve clients, including on matters which involve a parallel civil litigation and regulatory enforcement/investigation component. New York-based Robert Horowitz has a strong reputation in the market with a versatile practice that services the securities defense needs of issuers, officers and directors, underwriters and investment advisers, whether subject to private litigation or SEC probes. The team also has niche expertise handling broker-dealer-related securities litigation matters, an area that New York-based partner William Briendel is particularly skilled. Florida-based Brad Kaufman and Tracy Gerber and California's Daniel Tyukody co-head the team alongside Horowitz and Briendel.
