Today’s spotlight: Nicole M. Goodwin

Title: Managing shareholder, Greenberg Traurig

Background: Goodwin is a business litigator and managing shareholder of Greenberg Traurig’s Phoenix office. She is also an adjunct professor at ASU’s Sandra Day O’Connor School of Law.

Source of pride: “Being asked to lead the Phoenix office of Greenberg Traurig was an immense honor and responsibility. I’m proud to stand alongside my fellow shareholders and work with them to position our office for the next 20 years of achievement and growth.”

Lesson learned: “I once assumed our family’s two pet bunnies were both male. A couple of months later, I learned never to assume such things.”
