ATLANTA – June 4, 2024 – Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP’s Atlanta office has been recognized again for winning the Bar President’s Award grand prize as part of the state’s annual Georgia Legal Food Frenzy. In its 13th year, the 2024 campaign run by Feeding Georgia raised $787,883 and included 141 firms and organizations representing 10,008 members of Georgia’s legal community over a two-week period.
Greenberg Traurig raised $76,855, securing the Bar President’s Award for the 5th time. The firm’s donations contributed to the overall amount, which will provide 3.15 million meals for the state's regional food banks, serving Georgia's children, seniors, and families in need.
“As a community-centered firm, Greenberg Traurig consistently embraces a spirit of giving. I’m proud that members of our firm feel compelled to answer the call to provide for those in need, and Feeding Georgia makes sure that every dollar raised is put to good use,” said Theodore I.

The winners will be recognized at the State Bar of Georgia annual meeting next month, as well as at an awards event in Atlanta.
