global restructuring team over the last year or so, from
the United States to Germany, Italy and, most recently, London," said Richard
A. Rosenbaum, the firm's Executive Chairman. "Since 2019,
the number of restructuring attorneys at the firm has grown by
nearly 20 percent. We are prepared for the challenge and are
already addressing the most pressing issues for businesses that may
appear regionally, nationally, and globally from economies hampered
by COVID-19, recession, or any other catastrophic occurrence. To be
able to respond when our clients need us most requires, not simply
logistics, but also vision. The addition of Peggy, Annette, and
Jason – together with our most recent additions – represents that
vision."

moves to Greenberg Traurig from Holland & Knight.

in key financial markets like New
York, Chicago, Houston, Los
Angeles, Atlanta, and
throughout Florida, while
servicing clients almost everywhere in the United States and globally. We have
developed a practice that has worked on some of the most complex
restructuring matters by keeping at the forefront our primary goal
of developing creative solutions on a global basis," said
Shari L. Heyen and David B. Kurzweil, co-chairs of the firm's
Restructuring & Bankruptcy Practice, in a joint statement. "We
have now added nine U.S.-based shareholders to our team in the last
12 months. These new additions in Denver and Boston are complementary to our practice and
our vision for collaboration and growth."
"Greenberg Traurig's Restructuring & Bankruptcy Practice has
the global reputation and collective experience that is important
to us as a team and to our clients," Hunt and Jarvis said in a
joint statement. "The expansion of the firm's ability to serve
clients in the restructuring and bankruptcy space demonstrates the
firm's ability to be ahead of the curve."
"I'm thrilled to join Greenberg's dynamic and well-established
team of professionals. This firm provides me with everything I need
to support my clients at the highest level, even in today's
challenging environment. Additionally, the firm's dedication to
collaboration, diversity, and focus on client service were a few of
the many positive things about the firm that drew me here,"
DelMonico said.
