Greenspoon Marder

What Greenspoon Marder does

Greenspoon Marder LLP is a national full-service business law firm founded in 1981 and headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The firm operates across 20+ U.S. office locations with over 215 attorneys delivering legal services in 40+ practice areas including Litigation, Corporate & Business Law, Real Estate, Tax, Intellectual Property, Immigration, Labor & Employment, Cannabis Law, Bankruptcy, Aviation, Entertainment & Sports, and Hospitality. Its clientele spans Fortune 500 companies, middle-market public and private firms, startups, entrepreneurs, and high-net-worth individuals, with notable specialization in Florida-dominant industries (real estate, timeshare, hospitality) and emerging verticals such as cannabis, where it holds top-tier rankings from Chambers USA and Legal 500. The firm is co-led by founders Gerald Greenspoon and Michael E. Marder as Co-Managing Directors.

The firm's business model is a traditional professional services platform generating revenue through hourly billing, contingency fees, and fixed fees depending on practice area, with monthly client invoicing facilitated through a LawPay-integrated online payment portal. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales driven by lateral partner hiring and business development training, supported by content marketing through practice-specific blogs (cannabis, immigration, tax, TCPA, surrogacy, sports law), newsletters (Israel Market), video/podcast series (Land Use Lowdown, TaxTalk, The Surrogacy Space), and selective event sponsorship such as Diamond Sponsorship of Israel Tech Week Miami 2026 to position itself as a gateway for cross-border Israeli-U.S. deals. Technology infrastructure consists of standard legal practice management systems—case management, document management, client billing, and LawPay online payments—without disclosed proprietary technology, AI/ML products, developer APIs, or software product revenue streams.

Growth is executed primarily through lateral acquisition of partner teams and office expansion rather than de novo build-out, exemplified by the April 2026 addition of 10 attorneys (seven partners) from Resch Polster & Berger LLP to the Los Angeles office, the November 2025 addition of partner Roy Masuri to the New York office, and the 2018 acquisition of The Liaison Group. The firm has sustained its Am Law 200 ranking since 2015 and earned consecutive recognition in NLJ 500 (2013–2025), Law360 400 (2017–2025), and multiple Chambers USA practice rankings, alongside workplace awards including USA Today Top Workplaces USA 2025–2026, Great Place to Work certification, and Mansfield Rule 8.0 diversity certification. Revenue, partner compensation, and detailed financial performance are not publicly disclosed, consistent with private LLP partnership structure.
