Equine Industry Group
“What I have found as a member of the equestrian community here in Wellington is that they are masters at planning. This industry has so many moving parts and equestrians have this innate knowledge that you can only learn by living it. Every move, every decision, and every plan revolves around one thing – the horse. There has always been a special relationship between humans and horses. The passion and love that equestrians have for these animals is unmatched, and they always have their best interests at heart.
But what I have found is that many people in the equestrian industry don’t have someone looking out for them, with the same passion and dedication that they care for their horses. When I started Greenberg Traurig’s Equine Industry Group three years ago, I felt we could fill a void in the industry. I felt that by using my own industry-based knowledge as an equestrian, my 35+ years as a trial attorney, and the international platform and diverse practice specialties of my law firm, we could better serve the business interests of riders, trainers, and owners, and help them plan for a better, and more successful future.
Hi fellow equestrians. My name is Mike Nicodema. I’m a principal shareholder at the law firm of Greenberg Traurig and the co-chair of the Equine Industry Group. Our Group has over 50 skilled and dedicated attorneys to serve the equestrian industry. As co-chair, I take pride in knowing that we can partner with our fellow equestrians, so that together, we can build a stronger, more successful, and secure community.”
