Greenberg Traurig Earns Prestigious 2026 Florida Legal Awards for Multiple Practice Areas
On April 29, 2026, Greenberg Traurig, P.A., a leading global law firm, achieved remarkable recognition at the Daily Business Review's 2026 Florida Legal Awards. This prestigious event, held at the JW Marriott Marquis Miami, celebrated the firm's accomplishments in its Corporate, Litigation, and Real Estate practices, underscoring its dominant footprint in Florida’s legal landscape.
Greenberg Traurig's presence in the state of Florida has deep roots, as reflected by the accolades received. Among the standout achievements, Miami Corporate Shareholder Joshua B. Forman was honored with the title of Dealmaker of the Year. His exceptional leadership during a significant data center transaction showcases the firm's prowess in navigating complex digital infrastructure deals. This particular deal involved Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) and secured a remarkable $27 billion in private-debt financing for the landmark Hyperion data center campus, which promises to be a game-changer in the digital marketplace. Developed through an innovative partnership between Meta Platforms and Blue Owl Capital, this hyperscale artificial intelligence campus could potentially reach a staggering capacity of up to 7.2 gigawatts.
Furthermore, Greenberg Traurig earned the distinguished recognition of Litigation Department of the Year (General Litigation). Highlights of the firm’s recent litigation successes include impactful victories for clients statewide. Notably, the firm represented plaintiffs in a significant case related to the Brickell City Centre in Miami and successfully won a landmark ruling for Lyft in Florida's Third District Court of Appeal — the first appellate decision interpreting Florida's Transportation Network Companies Statute.
In addition to these achievements, the firm demonstrated remarkable success in the real estate sector, being awarded the title of Real Estate Firm of the Year. Florida-based real estate attorneys from Greenberg Traurig engagsed in a multitude of landmark projects and transactions throughout the past year. For instance, they guided Swire Properties through a monumental $512 million sale of a majority interest in the retail and parking components of the Brickell City Centre to Simon Property Group. Another significant accomplishment was offering construction financing solutions worth a collective $390.3 million for projects such as Andare Residences in Fort Lauderdale and Waldorf Astoria Residences in Pompano Beach. The firm also played a crucial role in advising Boca Raton's Kayne Anderson Real Estate and Remedy Medical Properties on a major acquisition from Welltower involving 296 medical office properties across the nation. This transaction highlighted Greenberg Traurig's strategic capabilities and strong market influence, marking it as one of the year's most notable real estate deals globally.
The Senior Chairman of Greenberg Traurig, Matthew B. Gorson, articulated the firm’s gratitude towards its clients, stating, "These honors reflect what our clients and communities across Florida have known for nearly 60 years — that Greenberg Traurig's roots run deep in this state. From our founding in Miami to our growth into a global law firm, we have built and maintained a market-leading presence serving the region's critical businesses and industries." This statement emphasizes the firm’s commitment not only to legal excellence but also to client satisfaction and community support.
In summary, Greenberg Traurig's accolades at the 2026 Florida Legal Awards encapsulate its exceptional dedication to excellence in Corporate, Litigation, and Real Estate law. The firm is recognized not only as a legal powerhouse in the state of Florida but also as a key contributor to shaping the future landscape of law and business in the region.
