Galen and the law firm’s Innovation and Technology Practice Group will specialize in crypto/NFT, fintech, finance, science, media and entertainment, tax, labor and employment and intellectual property to assist clients dealing with a competitive marketplace.

“Greenspoon Marder not only offers a national presence and full-service capabilities for my clients, but the firm and its leaders are uniquely entrepreneurial and forward-thinking in their approach to business and technology,” Galen says. “More of my clients are breaking barriers and moving between industries, from entertainment to crypto/NFT to FinTech to hospitality to real estate and beyond; Greenspoon Marder has the team and vision to build the ultimate law firm for tomorrow’s leaders. I look forward to growing this practice and welcoming new attorneys to our group in the very near future.”
