Greenberg Traurig Strengthens London Corporate Practice with Cross-Border M&A Shareholder Hire

LONDON - May 5, 2026 - Greenberg Traurig, LLP has expanded its London Corporate Practice with the addition of Robert Gray as a shareholder, further enhancing its cross-border mergers and acquisitions offering and deepening its connectivity across Europe.

Gray joins from Baker McKenzie, where he has a track record of advising on complex, cross-border M&A and multijurisdictional carve-outs, with a particular focus on transactions involving Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and the Nordics. He brings notable experience in the industrials and agribusiness sectors, alongside a broad practice acting for corporates, private equity sponsors, and founders on strategic investments, disposals, joint ventures, and reorganisations. Gray is ranked as a Global Market Leader for Agribusiness in Chambers Global 2026 and is included in the 2026 Thomson Reuters Stand-out Lawyers rankings.

Greenberg Traurig Executive Chairman Richard A. Rosenbaum said: "Robert's hire further strengthens our cross-border M&A capabilities in London. He is particularly experienced in the CEE region and across the broader European market, regularly acting for a range of U.S. corporate clients on complex, multijurisdictional transactions. Robert's clients most often operate in the energy, industrials, agribusiness, and technology sectors, and his cultural and strategic approach to M&A aligns seamlessly with our London, European, and global platform."

Fiona Adams, managing shareholder of the London office and co-chair of the firm's Global Corporate Practice, said: "Demand for sophisticated cross-border advice remains strong. Robert brings a compelling combination of international experience, market insight, and strong client relationships, further enhancing our London offering and global platform. His ability to operate seamlessly across jurisdictions, coupled with his sector breadth and differentiated agribusiness experience, aligns closely with our focus on building a diverse, internationally connected Corporate Practice that supports clients across the full lifecycle of their investments. His arrival - our third London shareholder hire this year and 19th over the past two years - underscores the momentum of our growth strategy."

Gray said: "Greenberg Traurig's global platform and its clear strategic focus on cross-border growth make it an exciting place to practice. The firm has built a strong reputation for advising on complex international transactions, with clients valuing practical, commercially driven advice. I was particularly drawn to the firm's collaborative culture and its strength across Europe and the U.S., including in markets where I have longstanding relationships. I look forward to working with colleagues across the network to support clients on their most strategic transactions and to contribute to the continued growth of the London Corporate Practice."
