Greenberg Traurig Receives Recognitions in Daily Business Review’s 2026 Florida Legal Awards

MIAMI - March 10, 2026 - Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, P.A. and its attorneys received three recognitions in the Daily Business Review's (DBR) 2026 Florida Legal Awards. These annual awards recognize distinguished members of the Florida legal community.

All honorees will be celebrated - and winners announced - at the DBR's annual awards ceremony April 29 at the JW Marriott Marquis in Miami.

Greenberg Traurig was named a finalist in the following categories:

• Dealmakers of the Year - Joshua B. Forman, Miami Corporate shareholder and co-chair of the Digital Infrastructure Industry Group

• Litigation Departments of the Year (General Litigation Category)

• Real Estate Firm of the Year

Forman was recognized for his work co-leading Greenberg Traurig's representation of Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO) in the $27 billion private-debt financing of the Hyperion data center campus, one of the largest and most complex digital-infrastructure transactions ever executed. The project, developed through a joint venture between Meta Platforms and Blue Owl Capital, involves a hyperscale artificial intelligence campus with potential capacity of up to 7.2 gigawatts.

The Florida Litigation Practice secured impactful victories for clients across the state. Among its recent achievements, the team represented the plaintiffs in a lawsuit surrounding Brickell City Centre in Miami and won a landmark victory for Lyft before Florida's Third District Court of Appeal. The ruling was the first appellate order interpreting the scope of Florida's Transportation Network Companies (TNC) Statute. The team also won at trial and on appeal in the Patrick Reed v. Shane Ryan and Patrick Reed v. Brandel Chamblee cases, with the court affirming the dismissal of defamation claims against Greenberg Traurig's clients, Bloomberg L.P. and reporter Erik Larson.

Additionally, Florida Real Estate attorneys advised on a wide array of milestone projects and transactions last year. The team guided Swire Properties through the $512 million sale of a majority stake in the retail and parking components of Brickell City Centre to Simon Property Group and helped Related Group secure construction financing deals worth $390.3 million combined for Andare Residences by Pininfarina in Fort Lauderdale and Waldorf Astoria Residences Pompano Beach. The firm also represented Boca Raton-based Kayne Anderson Real Estate and Remedy Medical Properties in their acquisition from Welltower of a portfolio of 296 medical office properties nationwide - one of the year's biggest real estate deals globally.
