Award-Winning Excellence in Legal Practice
If you're looking for trailblazers in the legal field, Greenberg Traurig's Sharon Katz-Pearlman and Marina Olman-Pal are making waves. They bagged prestigious awards at the 2026 Women in Business Law Americas Awards, and let me tell you, these aren't just any run-of-the-mill accolades. Katz-Pearlman snagged the North America Transfer Pricing Lawyer of the Year, while Olman-Pal walked away with the North American Financial Regulation Lawyer of the Year award.
The Big Guns: Katz-Pearlman and Olman-Pal
Sharon Katz-Pearlman isn't just dipping her toes in tax law—she's neck-deep in complexities that would make most heads spin. Representing everything from large multinationals to wealthy individuals, she's navigating the choppy waters of IRS examinations, appeals, and litigations with the finesse of a seasoned sailor. Her mastery over transfer pricing issues is something her clients undoubtedly sleep better knowing—and that's no small feat when you're talking money matters on an international scale.
Flip to Marina Olman-Pal's side of the boardroom, and you'll find financial institutions hanging onto her every word. As co-chair of the Financial Regulatory & Compliance Practice, Olman-Pal advises on an array of U.S. federal and state regulatory concerns that's dizzying just to list out. She's knee-deep in BaaS, anti-money laundering laws, and even GENIUS Act compliance, guiding domestic and foreign entities alike through the precarious maze of American financial regulations.
