LOS
ANGELES, April 19, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/
-- Lisa C. McCurdy and
Mathew S. Rosengart, shareholders in
global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP's Los Angeles office, were both named to the
"Top 100 Lawyers" list by the Los Angeles Business Journal.
This is Rosengart's third year in a row receiving this accolade;
he was chosen in the Litigation category. It is McCurdy's first
recognition by the publication, as part of the Trusts & Estates
Litigation category. The list recognizes the achievements of
leading lawyers in the Los Angeles
business community, according to the publication.
McCurdy practices commercial civil litigation, with a particular
focus on retail, consumer products and services, and real estate
and financing litigation, and has deep experience in trust and
estate litigation, particularly trusts and estates with significant
real estate and business holdings. She has wide-ranging experience
in both federal and state court, as well as in administrative
proceedings and regulatory investigations. McCurdy also practices
in the area of animal protection law, regularly volunteering her
time and litigating cases on behalf of both animal protection
groups and individual clients, and working on improving legislation
and education in an effort to improve the treatment of animals. As
a result of this work, she was appointed by the mayor of
Los Angeles in 2012 to serve as a
commissioner for the Animal Services Department of the City of Los Angeles, and served in that
capacity and as board president until February 2014. She was a board member and past
board president of Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest from 2012-2024.
In addition to her practice, McCurdy is co-chair of the firm's
Global Women's Initiative, and co-chairs shareholder recruiting for
the Los Angeles office.
Rosengart, a former federal prosecutor who practices in complex
commercial litigation, was recently honored by Forbes for his body
of work in its inaugural list of the Top 200 lawyers in
the United States which, according
to the publication, recognizes the "finest in the field," whose
"integrity," "expertise, passion, and purpose set them apart" as
"the best in the business." Forbes stated that "Rosengart brings
the passion and legal expertise to private practice that made him
notable as a federal prosecutor."
Named Benchmark Litigation's 2024 Entertainment Litigator of the
Year, Rosengart was previously recognized by the Los Angeles
Business Journal on its "LA500" and "Leaders of Influence" lists,
wherein he was described as "one of the most influential
litigators" in Los Angeles and a
"go to litigator for Hollywood's
elite and Corporate America" who is "one of the nation's preeminent
litigators."
Among other accolades, Rosengart has also been recognized as one
of the nation's Top 100 litigators by the Daily Journal and was
named both a General Litigation and Sports & Entertainment
Trailblazer by the National Law Journal. He has received the
Beverly Hills Bar Association's Excellence in Advocacy Award,
Variety's Power of Law Award and, for his body of work, the Praeses
Elit Award, the highest honor bestowed by the Law Society of
Trinity College of Dublin, one of
Europe's oldest and most
prestigious educational institutions. Described by his long-time
client Sean Penn as a "tough as
nails streetfighter with a big brain and bigger and bigger
principles," Rosengart has also been named a media and
entertainment MVP, and an "elite" lawyer and "heavyweight attorney"
by Law360; a "heavy-hitting trial lawyer" by The Legal 500; and a
"legal warrior" who is "principled" by ABC. He has been perennially
