Greenberg Traurig
Greenberg Traurig
is especially proud
to be a sponsor of
this 15th Annual
Conference of the
Israel Bar Association
because of the
Conference’s focus
on international
legal issues.
Greenberg Traurig is a global law firm, with
more than 1,800 lawyers in our 37 offices
around the world, including 29 in the United
States. We have had a robust Israel Practice
Group for over a decade, and we opened
our Tel Aviv office in 2012. Greenberg
Traurig is the only Am Law 100 law firm
12
to have a full-service office in Israel. Our
office is registered with the Israel Bar
Association and the State of Israel. Our Tel
Aviv presence offers Israeli clients and local
law firms the immediate global reach of
Greenberg Traurig’s international network,
connectin g Israel to major commercial
centers throughout the world. Moreover,
because we recognize that Israel is well
supplied with outstanding local lawyers,
we do not practice Israeli law. We focus
instead on providing effective and efficient
strategic advice and the full breadth of
our non-Israeli legal services, and we
frequently work together with Israeli law
firms. As a partial illustration of the breadth
of the resources we offer, in addition to
the Tel Aviv team, we are proud that the
following Greenberg Traurig attorneys from
abroad are speaking at the conference:
of our White Collar Litigation Group and
former U.S. Attorney for the District of
Massachusetts and Commissioner of
the State Ethics Commission.
*Gregory Kehoe (Tampa), Prosecutor
in the U.S. Department of Justice for
over 20 years. He led a team of
lawyers and investigators who
advised the Iraqi Special Tribunal
prosecuting Saddam Hussein.
*The Honorable Peter Hoekstra (Wash
ington, D.C.), former Chairman of the
U.S. House Permanent Committee on
Intelligence.
*Hilarie Bass (Miami), Co-President of the firm and President-Elect of the
American Bar Association (2017).
*Kenneth Minesinger (Washington, D.C.),
co-head of our Energy and Infrastructure
Group, represents sovereign
governments in the development of their
oil and gas resources.
*John Pappalardo (Boston), co-head
