San Diego

San Diego is an important commercial hub and a key contributor to California’s global economic standing. Greenberg Traurig’s key strengths in life sciences, pharmaceuticals, real estate, tourism and hospitality, labor and employment, and international trade align with the engines of San Diego’s economy. Greenberg Traurig’s San Diego office, in combination with the firm’s robust California and worldwide network, is committed to helping our local clients and those looking to invest and grow their operations in San Diego and beyond.

Greenberg Traurig’s San Diego intellectual property team regularly advises local, national, and international companies on the development of the next generation of pharmaceutical and medical technologies. Our firm represents investors and developers in some of the largest real estate development, acquisition, disposition, financing, and leasing matters in San Diego County. Our hospitality lawyers counsel investors, developers, and others on the full range of real estate, tax, employment, and compliance issues associated with the construction and management of hotels, casinos, resorts, condominiums, and mixed-use projects. Our office is further bolstered by on-the-ground environmental and energy specialists with deep experience advising clients on California-specific regulations, including Proposition 65 matters and California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) proceedings and approvals.

Our San Diego-based labor and employment team has deep roots in the Golden State and are fluent with the multitude of California-specific issues facing employers in the state, as well as local regulations governing employment practices in San Diego County. In coordination with our firm’s strong government contracts team, we regularly advise and represent local government contractors and suppliers on strategic acquisitions and dispositions, service, and supply agreements with the government, and compliance matters for private companies doing business with the federal government.

Our attorneys are involved in several local community and business organizations, including the Ivy League Club of San Diego, the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, and the San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association.
