Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP expanded its real estate practice with the addition of shareholder Paul M. Williams. He joins the firm from Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP, and will be based in Los Angeles and Austin.

Williams’ practice overlaps the firm’s real estate and energy & natural resources practices. He advises clients acquiring, selling, leasing and financing real property across the U.S., ranging from Class A commercial and luxury residential properties to energy and industrial facilities and agricultural holdings.

Over the past decade, he has guided high profile purchase and sale transactions on Rodeo Drive, in Napa and Sonoma Valley, and along the California and Texas coastlines. “We saw an opportunity to add another pro to our California real estate team; someone who complements the existing practices at the firm,” Gregory A. Fishman and Barbara A. Jones, co-managing shareholders of the Los Angeles office, said in a joint statement. “Paul’s sophisticated practice will allow us to offer yet another service to our clients who can benefit from our premiere global real estate platform.”
