ATLANTA, April 19, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Global law
firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP has enhanced its legal offering in
Atlanta with the addition of
Robert W. Kamerschen as a
shareholder.
Kamerschen joins the firm from Aaron's, Inc. where he served as
executive vice president, general counsel, corporate secretary, and
chief corporate affairs officer. Aaron's, Inc. is the nation's
leading omnichannel specialty retailer with over $3 billion in annual revenue. Kamerschen managed
many aspects of legal, compliance, government relations, external
affairs, security, information security, risk management,
charitable giving, and corporate governance for Aaron's.
"Robbie was instrumental in leading Aaron's through many
significant changes, showcasing the depth of his corporate law
expertise," said Ernest LaMont
Greer, co-president of Greenberg Traurig, who has worked
with Kamerschen over the past decade as a client. "His wealth of
experience in the retail arena brings a fresh perspective to the
firm, and his in-house background provides him with a deep
understanding of the challenges clients face in today's legal and
regulatory environment and expectations of their outside counsel.
As many lawyers are leaving private practice to go in-house, we are
thrilled that Robbie has decided to join the firm."
Kamerschen has wide-ranging experience handling matters relating
to government investigations, employment law, privacy, regulatory,
intellectual property, litigation, financings, acquisitions, and
corporate matters. He will also be a member of the firm's
award-winning retail industry group, a Chambers & Partners Band
1-ranked practice.
"After working with Greenberg Traurig as a client for many
years, I look forward to utilizing my in-house experience to
anticipate the needs of clients and help address their most
pressing business matters," Kamerschen said. "Greenberg Traurig is
well known for its best-in-class client service, collaborative
culture, and global footprint. I am excited to join this
outstanding team."
"The addition of Robbie adds depth to key areas of importance to
our clients and our firm and underscores the strategic growth of
the Atlanta office. Clients will
benefit tremendously from his legal savviness, global retail
experience, and deep understanding of the legal and business issues
many of our clients face," said Theodore I.
Blum, managing shareholder of Greenberg Traurig's
Atlanta office.
Prior to joining Aaron's, Kamerschen served as United States general counsel, senior vice
president of government affairs & chief compliance officer at
