Carey Troell, a public finance shareholder, has rejoined Greenberg Traurig in Houston after practicing there from 2005 through 2008. He will focus his practice on public finance transactions, serving as bond counsel to state and local governmental entities throughout Texas, structuring financing transactions for school districts, cities, water districts and other similar institutions. He also represents nonprofits, financial institutions and underwriters in public finance matters, according to a news release.
Before rejoining Greenberg Traurig, Troell practiced at Cantu Harden for four and a half years. He previously practiced at Locke Lord for almost two years, Bracewell for eight years and before that, Fulbright & Jaworski for five years.
“Few attorneys are as familiar with the evolution of our Texas Public Finance & Infrastructure Practice as Carey, who was part of the team during its early years nearly 20 years ago. He now returns to a Houston office that is home to one of the elite public finance and infrastructure practices in Texas and beyond,” Greenberg Traurig Executive Chairman Richard A. Rosenbaum said. “Carey’s service as a former Texas assistant attorney general and extensive background in public finance bring a unique perspective that further enhances our capabilities in this important area. His return follows the recent additions of Public Finance & Infrastructure Shareholders Taylor Klavan and Clark Stockton Lord and reflects our ongoing commitment to strategically growing and building premier teams in the markets and practices that matter most to our clients.”
Greenberg Traurig recorded $198 million in Texas revenue last year, a 26.4 percent increase since 2024, and reported a headcount of 190 lawyers, an increase of 20.3 percent, according to the Lawbook 50.
