Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP has appointed Campbell Genn as a Senior Director in its Washington, D.C. office. She joins the Government Law & Policy Practice, bringing experience from her role as a Senior Advisor to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Genn previously counseled Cabinet leadership on national nutrition policy, supply-chain resilience, and food safety. Her background includes leading advocacy efforts for food industry trade associations and working with Congress, the FDA, and other regulatory bodies.

Strategic Expansion

Tonya M. Esposito, Administrative Shareholder of the Washington, D.C. office, stated that the addition reflects the firm’s established platform strength. The firm aims to help clients navigate complex federal policy environments using an integrated team of regulatory and litigation professionals.

Christopher DeLacy, Co-Chair of the Federal Government Law & Policy Practice, noted that Genn’s experience advising policymakers expands the firm’s ability to serve clients in the food, nutrition, and agricultural sectors.

Key Focus Areas

Genn will advise clients on emerging issues across the farm-to-fork supply chain. Key areas include:

• Federal nutrition programs such as SNAP, WIC, and school meals
• USDA and FDA labeling initiatives
• The proposed definition of ultra-processed foods
• Food safety regulations and the Farm Bill
• Agricultural trade and science-based policy development

Prior to joining Greenberg Traurig, Genn served as Senior Director of Government Relations for the American Bakers Association and as Senior Director of Nutrition Policy for the Sugar Association.

What the Numbers Show

The appointment highlights a strategic pivot toward non-legal government affairs expertise within the firm’s practice groups. While Greenberg Traurig maintains approximately 3,200 lawyers globally, Genn is not admitted to the practice of law. This signals a growing reliance on policy advisors with direct regulatory experience to complement traditional legal services in the food and agriculture sector.
