MATTHEW GORSON

SENIOR CHAIRMAN, GREENBERG TRAURIG, MIAMI

An avid collector of contemporary abstract art, Gorson has practiced mostly in the area of real estate and once chaired the firm’s national real estate practice. He joined the firm in 1973 as its 14th lawyer and now supervises the firm’s operations in the southeastern U.S. and California. The graduate of the University of Miami (BA) and the University of Chicago (JD) is founder and chairman of the Downtown Miami Charter School.

At the core of his philantrophic passion, Gorson states, is his commitment “to bettering the lives of at-risk children in Miami through education and mentoring. By lifting up our children, we lift up our entire community.”
