Speaker(s):

Luis Salazar
Greenberg Traurig P.A.

Described as one of South Florida's "legal elite" by Miami's Daily Business Review, Luis Salazar is a shareholder in the international law firm of Greenberg Traurig. In his practice, he counsels a diverse group of clients through difficult situations from bet-the-company litigation, to surviving severe financial distress, to dealing with the consequences of data breaches.

Luis has led Chapter 11 reorganizations for many well-known companies including Gerald Stevens, Fine Air and Arrow Air, Xpedior, Scient, and others with combined assets exceeding $5 billion. He also has led less well-known reorganizations, work-outs and financial negotiations on behalf of clients in the aviation, money-wiring, food service, import-export, and entertainment fields. He currently serves as the Co-Chair of the International Insolvency Committee of the American Bankruptcy Institute.

His representation of troubled internet companies during the dotcom era led Luis to draft and propose The Privacy Policy Enforcement in Bankruptcy Act of 2001, which prohibits bankrupt companies from misusing consumers' private information. The Act is also the first law to require the appointment of a Consumer Privacy Ombudsman to protect the privacy rights of consumers. Luis has since been appointed by the Department of Justice as Consumer Privacy Ombudsman in the Tweeter Audio and Foxtons bankruptcy cases.
