Greenberg Traurig Recognized by Equality Illinois for 'Raising the Bar' for LGBT Workplace Inclusion

International law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP was recently recognized among 42 Illinois law firms for "Raising the Bar" and leading the way in providing a welcoming and fair work environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) employees and engaging with the LGBT community.

"Greenberg Traurig remains committed to a culture of diversity and inclusiveness, and promotes equality of opportunity and dignity for all its employees. We are deeply honored to be recognized once more by Equality Illinois for our efforts," said Gregory E. Ostfeld, shareholder and co-chair of the Chicago Litigation Practice.
