The selected attorneys include James J. DeCarlo, specializing in intellectual property litigation; Joel Feldman, who leads the firm’s global trademark and brand management efforts; Michael J. Minahan, a corporate and securities advisor; and John R. Richards, co-chair of the global labor and employment practice. The BTI Consulting Group criteria for the selection focused on legal counsel who demonstrate the ability to pivot strategies quickly, anticipate future business hurdles, and deliver measurable outcomes rather than merely providing standard legal support.

For these practitioners, the recognition highlights long-term professional focus. DeCarlo brings three decades of experience in patent litigation and electrical engineering to his practice, while Feldman, a repeat honoree from 2025, continues to manage complex international brand strategies. Minahan works extensively with public and private companies on securities matters and capital markets, and Richards maintains a heavy focus on cross-border labor compliance and retail industry risk management. Greenberg Traurig, which employs approximately 3,200 lawyers globally, continues to maintain its standing among the Am Law Global 100 as these attorneys leverage their respective niches to address the evolving demands of Fortune 1000 clients.
