The American Lawyer reflected on a year full of change, growth and innovation Wednesday night at the first American Lawyer Industry Awards in New York.
Regional litigation departments of the year were recognized, and for Georgia, Greenberg Traurig received the prize. The firm won summary judgment for pharmaceutical client Sandoz in a case with implications for companies duties regarding medication guides, and it is national counsel for Valeant Pharmaceuticals in cases over its talcum powder product, securing a series of positive results in various jurisdictions. And in a pro bono case that took five years to complete, the firm got a favorable appellate result on behalf of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, which faced claims of breach of contract and fraud.
