Greenberg Traurig has opened an office in Milan, Italy – its fifth office in Europe and 40th outpost worldwide.

Greenberg launched the new office by combining with long-time legal partner Santa Maria Studio Legale, a 50-year-old boutique firm. Greenberg has worked with the Italian firm for 15 years and said all of the firm’s partners, associates and staff will remain. Greenberg is also adding two attorneys from Freshfields to the new Milan office.
