MIAMI, Fla., Nov. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, P.A. added digital infrastructure industry veteran Joshua B. Forman as of counsel in the Miami office, enhancing the firm’s capabilities in this rapidly expanding area of the technology sector.
Forman, who brings more than 10 years of in-house experience, most recently served as senior vice president and general counsel at Netrality Data Centers. He previously was general counsel and chief compliance officer for GlobeNet Telecom.
“Josh’s mastery of the bread-and-butter contracts and transactions that drive digital infrastructure adds another layer of experience to our already industry leading knowledge base,” said Kemal Hawa, Washington, D.C. based Corporate shareholder and co-chair of the firm’s Digital Infrastructure, Data Center and Cloud Computing Industry Group. “As we see increased demand for data centers and subsea connectivity amidst an intensely competitive environment, we are confident our clients will benefit from Josh’s experience in the trenches as in-house counsel.”
Forman provides legal advice on a wide range of telecommunications matters, with a deep focus on data center expansion, operations, and transit services including fiber access and interconnection. His holistic practice addresses commercial, corporate, tax, and other issues. He also has guided the regulatory approval process for clients with U.S. agencies such as the Federal Communications Commission, Department of Homeland Security, and the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, as well as various regulatory entities in Latin America.
“Digital infrastructure is the foundation of our modern economy and a critical element for the data storage and cloud computing capabilities that all businesses need today,” said Jaret L. Davis, co-managing shareholder of Greenberg Traurig’s Miami office. “As Miami continues to grow its footprint in the technology and digital infrastructure industries, we are focused on strategic expansion to better serve our clients. Josh, who is already well-known to key industry players, brings a unique skill set and understands what keeps clients up at night.”
Forman earned his J.D. from the St. Thomas University School of Law, and a B.A. in Finance from The George Washington University.
“After working as an in-house attorney for a decade, overseeing billions of dollars in transactions and other compliance matters, I was looking for an opportunity to put my experience to work on a broader scale,” Forman said. “I am thrilled to join Greenberg Traurig’s highly respected digital infrastructure and data center team that has such a strong presence in my hometown of Miami, but also has the global platform to serve clients across the United States and internationally.”
