International law firm Greenberg Traurig continues to grow its Corporate, Energy, and Restructuring practices with the addition of Allan D. Reiss as shareholder in the New York City office. Before joining Greenberg Traurig, Reiss was a partner at Morgan Lewis.

Reiss counsels financial advisors, underwriters, issuers, investors, and funds on corporate and securities transactions across a variety of industries, including energy, shipping, and renewables. He is experienced in public and private offerings of debt and equity securities, and has special expertise in high yield debt and master limited partnerships, or MLPs. Reiss also advises clients on out-of-court debt restructurings of distressed issuers, and on mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures.

“Allan’s experience greatly complements our capabilities in the areas of structuring and executing high yield debt offerings, as well as the formation and financing of master limited partnerships—particularly with regard to energy and energy-related companies,” said Richard A. Rosenbaum, chief executive officer of Greenberg Traurig.

“I was drawn by the depth and breadth of the firm’s capabilities and resources across the board that will allow me to not only grow my practice but best serve the needs of my clients on a global scale,” said Reiss.

In addition to the October 1 opening of Greenberg Traurig’s Berlin office with 55 attorneys since January, the firm has added more than a dozen of highly experienced attorneys to its Corporate & Securities Practice, including Anthony L. Perricone and Nanette Aguirre in New York; Victoria Reggie Kennedy in Washington, D.C. and Boston; Stacey T. Kern in Chicago; Christina A. Tate in Dallas; Dorothee Fischer-Appelt and Joel Wheeler in London; José Raz Guzmán and Miguel Moisés in Mexico City; Flora R. Perez in Ft. Lauderdale; Benjamin P. Butterfield in Orlando; Marc L. Druckman in Miami; Thomas B. Romer in Denver; James A. Dempsey in New Jersey; and Koji Ishikawa and Koichiro Ohashi in Tokyo.
