Greenberg Traurig is moving into Tampa:
"We definitely want to be in that market, and we will be in that market," said Cesar Alvarez, president and chief executive officer of Greenberg Traurig.
The firm is seeking local lawyers whom it considers a good fit, both culturally and financially, he said.
Alvarez would not disclose or confirm which prospective Bay area firms it has contacted regarding a merger. Legal sector observers say Greenberg Traurig's usual staffing methods entail "cherry picking," or hiring away top lawyers from local firms.
"Normally we do not do mergers, but we have done some small ones," Alvarez said.
