Firm to be known as Pardo Jackson Gainsburg & Shelowitz, PL
MIAMI, FL – February 27, 2017 – Linda Worton Jackson has been practicing law in Miami for more than 30 years, first as a shareholder at Greenberg Traurig, and then as the founder of her own law firm. Now she is merging her bankruptcy and corporate practice into Pardo Jackson Gainsburg & Shelowitz, PL’s real estate and construction law firm to provide even more comprehensive services to her clients and those of Pardo Gainsburg.
The new firm will be known as Pardo Jackson Gainsburg & Shelowitz, PL, with specialties in real estate, corporate, construction law, bankruptcy, commercial litigation and hotel/hospitality law.
Pardo Jackson Gainsburg & Shelowitz, PL will be spearheaded by two former Greenberg Traurig shareholders – Stevan Pardo and Linda Worton Jackson – who spent a combined 25 years at Greenberg Traurig. After leaving there, Worton Jackson founded Salazar Jackson.
This new firm will have the feel of a small boutique practice with the quality to which Jackson and Pardo had become accustomed at Greenberg Traurig.
“Pardo Jackson Gainsburg & Shelowitz, PL’s longstanding reputation for providing clients with top-notch legal service was a huge draw for me,” said Worton Jackson. “The firm is a perfect fit for my clients, as it will add expertise in hospitality, real estate and construction litigation, as well as expanding my existing practice areas of bankruptcy and corporate work.”
Jackson, who will chair the firm’s Corporate and Financial Services and Bankruptcy departments, is considered among the most accomplished business and insolvency practitioners in South Florida. She has developed a reputation as the go-to person for sales, acquisitions, corporate reorganization and complex bankruptcy cases.
“Linda’s practice dovetails with everything else we do,” said Stevan Pardo, who chairs the firm’s Construction and Corporate Hospitality practices. “Her depth of professional experience will prove to be invaluable to our clients as we continue to grow our existing practice.”
In addition to being rated AV Preeminent, Worton Jackson has received numerous awards, including recognition as a Florida Super Lawyer and a leader in her field by Chambers USA for her work in the areas of corporate law and bankruptcy. She also was awarded Most Effective Lawyer by the South Florida Business Journal, and named an “Attorney to Watch” by American Lawyer Magazine.
