Berger Singerman, Florida’s business law firm, is pleased to announce the elevation of Maxwell H. Sawyer to Partner and Jessica Greenburg to Of Counsel, effective January 1, 2026. Both attorneys are resident in the firm’s Fort Lauderdale office and are members of the firm’s Dispute Resolution Team.
“These elevations reflect Max’s and Jessica’s exemplary legal skills, dedication to our clients, and meaningful contributions to the firm,” said Jordi Guso, Managing Partner of Berger Singerman. “We are proud to recognize their accomplishments and look forward to their continued growth and leadership within the firm.”
Maxwell H. Sawyer, elevated to Partner, litigates high-stakes business disputes and has extensive experience prosecuting and defending complex matters involving fraud, RICO, deceptive trade practices, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, privacy and data breaches, and products liability. He represents clients at both the trial and appellate levels in state and federal court and has participated in several jury trials, including a case resulting in a Top 50 Verdict in Florida in 2019.
Max began his legal career as a judicial law clerk to the Honorable Melanie G. May of Florida’s Fourth District Court of Appeal. He earned his J.D., summa cum laude, from Nova Southeastern University Shepard Broad College of Law, where he received the “book award” for earning the highest grade in ten courses and was selected by his peers as the student commencement speaker. Following law school, Max was selected to speak on behalf of newly admitted attorneys at the Fourth District Court of Appeal Induction Ceremony to The Florida Bar in recognition of his high achievement on The Florida Bar Exam.
Jessica Greenburg, elevated to Of Counsel, concentrates her practice on complex commercial litigation. Prior to joining Berger Singerman, Jessica was an associate at Proskauer, where she handled a wide range of litigation matters in both federal and state courts.
Jessica earned her J.D. from the University of Miami School of Law, where she served as an editor of the University of Miami Law Review.
