PHILADELPHIA – Sept. 11, 2019 – Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP announced it is deepening its corporate capabilities locally by growing its Investment Management Practice in the Philadelphia office with the addition of Nathan Iacovino and Ryan Helmrich, both from Pepper Hamilton.
“The addition of Nate and Ryan to the team further expands our reach and ability to service our financial institution clients, both locally and nationally,” said Curtis B.
