Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP continues to expand its Financial Regulatory & Compliance Practice with the addition of Rinaldo Martinez as of counsel in the firm’s Washington, D.C., office. Martinez joins the firm from Ballard Spahr, bringing with him over a decade of experience counseling financial services and fintech companies on regulatory compliance matters.

Martinez’s move to Greenberg Traurig is part of the firm’s strategic expansion of its global Financial Regulatory & Compliance Practice. Martinez will reunite with former Ballard Spahr colleague Lisa M. Lanham, who recently joined Greenberg Traurig as a shareholder in the practice, working from the firm’s New York and Miami offices. Earlier this year, the firm also added former fintech state regulator Shane Foster in the Phoenix office, following on the heels of last year’s three new hires of financial regulatory-focused attorneys.

“We are thrilled to welcome Rinaldo to our growing practice,” said Marina Olman-Pal, co-chair of the firm’s Financial Regulatory & Compliance Practice. “We continue to complement our already strong team with attorneys who bring extensive knowledge of complex consumer finance laws and regulations, as well as state licensing requirements. Our team’s diverse experience allows us to further support our financial services clients in connection with their licensing and regulatory needs in a wide variety of markets.”
