As a direct result of global law firm Greenberg Traurig, P.A.’s triumph in CA Florida Holdings LLC v. Aronberg on behalf of The Palm Beach Post, a Florida court has released the 2006 grand jury transcripts pertaining to the state’s Jeffrey Epstein sex abuse investigation. The release follows the July 1 effective date of a new state law that was written specifically to address this case and is the result of a five-year legal battle waged by The Palm Beach Post and Greenberg Traurig.

The precedent-setting matter is the first reported case in Florida where media were granted access to such materials for a case not involving public corruption. Greenberg Traurig’s work paves the way for greater public access in Florida and other states to information about secret grand jury proceedings when this access is deemed to be in the interest of furthering justice.

On May 10, 2023, the Greenberg Traurig team obtained a Florida appellate victory that reversed a Palm Beach County trial court order denying The Palm Beach Post access to Florida grand jury materials from the Epstein prosecution. The appellate court, in a case of first impression, held the trial court had authority to release Epstein grand jury materials in the interests of justice.
