In gauging the relative strengths of legal departments at New Jersey firms this year, the best yardstick we found was each firm’s success in applying best practices to its work not just in management of resources and technology, but also in strategic and logistic decision-making. By those measures, Greenberg Traurig led the field.
Based in Florham Park, the firm’s New Jersey branch is, by the numbers, a sliver of its national and international presence: 75 lawyers out of a total 1,750 in 33 offices. Yet, it is closely integrated with larger practice groups. New Jersey managing partner Philip Sellinger is chair of Greenberg Traurig’s Global Litigation Practice and in that position helps determine and develop broad firm litigation initiatives.
