: Greg Siskind's BlogIMMIGRANT OF THE DAY: CESAR ALVAREZ - LAWYER
By Greg Siskind
Cesar Alvarez is one of the generation of young Cubans who came to the US as refugees in the early 1960s after the revolution in his home country. I grew up in Miami during a time when many of these new arrivals were planting new roots and starting to make their mark on the country. There are so many success stories in this generation including today's Immigrant of the Day. Cesar Alvarez was named in today's National Law Journal as one of the 50 most powerful minority lawyers in the country. I'll be writing about others in the coming days.
Alvarez is the CEO at Greenberg Traurig, one of the largest law firms in the world with offices on multiple continents. Alvarez practiced corporate and securities law as well as international law before being elevated to heading the Florida-based firm.
