Richard A. Rosenbaum is the Chief Executive Officer of Greenberg Traurig, an international law firm of approximately 1800 lawyers and 36 offices around the globe, including 29 U.S. locations. Richard joined the firm in 1985 as its 90th lawyer, and just as he has been a leader in its spectacular growth across the Americas, Asia, Europe and the Middle East, navigating the changing times in which we live, he has been fiercely devoted to serving the firm's clients, lawyers and staff, and the communities in which they live and work.

Richard's personal practice has been diverse over the years: across the country and around the globe; representing clients ranging from wealthy individuals to emerging companies to the largest companies in the world; and developing expertise in areas that include real estate, entertainment, media, technology, investment and finance. Whether it is leading and managing the firm and its nearly 2000 lawyers or serving the firm's clients, Richard's focus remains the same: delivering business results which exceed expectations with an extraordinary sense of urgency, efficiency and excellence, while at the same time evidencing "old school" values of ethics, loyalty, family and personal accountability which create long term relationships and lasting trust across the decades.

Even before becoming the firm's CEO, Richard understood that the most important tasks of that role in a professional services organization would be to preserve and enhance the consistently high quality and the collaborative, respectful and empowering culture of the firm. He is, therefore, particularly proud of his work in founding and developing the firm's renowned "Commitment to Excellence" program years ago, a wide-ranging program which ensures that these values would be and remain core aspects of the firm's global brand.
