Noted sports lawyer Paul Greene, formerly of Preti Flaherty in Portland, Maine, has moved across town, joining Terry Garmey & Associates.
Greene, whose practice focuses on civil litigation where he represents plaintiffs in a variety of areas, is known nationally for the work he has done in the sports law field.
Recognized in the 2012 edition of Chambers USA as one of America’s leading sports lawyers, Greene has developed a niche when it comes to protecting the rights of athletes in areas such as Olympic eligibility, anti-doping, contract and intellectual property disputes. He has successfully represented, among others, the gold-medal winning U.S. Men’s Olympic Bobsled Team and the Michael Phelps Foundation. Last year, he successfully overturned a wrongful doping ban levied against an Egyptian athlete before the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland known globally as the “Supreme Court for Sports Law.”
He is also a member of the Immigration Legal Advocacy Project, a group of Maine attorneys committed to protecting the rights of immigrants by providing pro bono representation in asylum matters.
In addition, Greene teaches as an adjunct professor at his alma mater, the University of Maine School of Law, and serves on the school’s Alumni Association Board of Directors.
Prior to launching his legal career, he was an award-winning sportscaster in Maine and at a network based in New York City.
Much has changed since those days. Chambers USA writes that “he is making a considerable name for himself in sports law.”
The law firm he is joining, Terry Garmey & Associates, has more than 60 years combined experience trying personal injury, medical malpractice, products liability and civil litigation cases in Maine and New England, and has achieved some of the largest verdicts awarded in Maine.
