5 Greenberg Traurig Attorneys Named 2024 BTI Client Service All-Stars

Published

on

Five attorneys from global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP have been recognized in the 2024 edition of BTI Client Service All-Stars by the BTI Consulting Group.

NEW YORK, June 4, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Five attorneys from global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP have been recognized in the 2024 edition of BTI Client Service All-Stars by the BTI Consulting Group. BTI states that the selection for the BTI Client Service All-Stars 2024 is done by leading decision makers who identify a small number of attorneys providing exceptional client service. This selection is based on 300 in-depth, independent interviews, conducted between May 2023 and February 2024, with top legal decision makers at the world’s most demanding clients.

According to BTI Consulting Group, “This is the hardest – and most meaningful – ranking and recognition in the world. No one gets on this list unless a top legal decision maker recognizes them, without prompt or suggestion, along with a good reason why. No law firm or attorney can pay, influence, or refer themselves in. Attorneys only get on this list by outperforming everyone else.”

Included on the list this year are Michelle D. Gambino, shareholder in the Commercial Litigation and Real Estate Litigation practices in the firm’s Northern Virginia Office; Karin E. Ross, of counsel in the Data Privacy & Cybersecurity Practice in the Denver office; Jeff E. Scott, general counsel in the Los Angeles office; Peter S. Wahby, shareholder in the Litigation and Financial Services Litigation practices in the Dallas office; and David A. Zetoony, co-chair of the U.S. Data Privacy & Cybersecurity Practice in the Denver office.

Gambino is a highly regarded, fiercely competitive litigator, known as a pit-bull to her adversaries. She has tried cases to verdict all over the country and is typically called in to assist clients in “bet the company” types of matters. Gambino has secured some of the largest verdicts in the country and has also helped clients avoid damage claims in the hundreds of millions of dollars. A tireless advocate for her clients, she focuses on highly-publicized litigation matters involving fraud, government contracts, statutory violations, antitrust, mass tort, breach of contract, business conspiracy, privacy, Uniform Commercial Code disputes, generalized torts and/or employment litigation.

Ross focuses her practice on data privacy, cybersecurity, and technology transactions. She counsels a diverse array of clients from startups to Fortune 500 companies in both local and global markets. She works closely with clients on designing and implementing data privacy and security compliance programs and helps clients understand and comply with the complex patchwork of existing and emerging state, federal, and international data privacy laws and regulations. Ross regularly counsels clients on the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020, the Colorado Privacy Act, the Connecticut Data Privacy Act, the Utah Consumer Privacy Act, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, the Gramm Leach Bliley Act, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Her experience spans a range of industries including consumer goods, medical technology, financial services, e-commerce, and restaurants.

Scott serves as Greenberg Traurig’s general counsel. He is a nationally recognized trial lawyer with substantial experience acting as lead trial counsel for many cases before judges, jurors, and arbitrators. He represents clients in major litigation in a wide variety of areas, including media and entertainment, intellectual property, class action, unfair competition, commercial contract disputes, and business torts. His clients include some of the nation’s largest companies.

Wahby partners with his clients to develop and implement creative strategies across a broad range of disputes in venues across the country. While some disputes are best resolved with a quick, negotiated agreement, others may require a full adjudication on the merits, or further relief through the appellate courts. Whatever the need, Wahby works to develop a value-based approach to ensure that his clients’ business goals are being aggressively pursued while their costs are predictable and controlled. With proven judgment, based on his first-chair trial experience and clerkship at the Supreme Court of Texas, he works with his clients to assess how to practically pursue their objectives while maintaining a responsive dialogue throughout the relationship.

Zetoony focuses on helping businesses navigate data privacy and cyber security laws from a practical standpoint. He has helped hundreds of companies establish and maintain ongoing privacy and security programs and has defended corporate privacy and security practices in investigations initiated by the Federal Trade Commission, and other data privacy and security regulatory agencies around the world, as well as in class action litigation.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Published

By

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
