Mathew S. Rosengart, shareholder of global law firm Greenberg Traurig, P.A., will be the 2024 honoree at the Community Organized Relief Effort (CORE) annual benefit gala held Dec. 5 at Soho Beach House during Art Basel in Miami. This year’s gala co-chair committee includes Jon Bon Jovi, Jared Leto, Diplo, Soleil Moon Frye, and Garcelle Beauvais, with a special performance by Jewel, a long-time supporter of CORE, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Recognized as one of the nation’s preeminent litigators, Rosengart has served as longtime litigation counsel to actor Sean Penn and outside general counsel to CORE, the global crisis relief nonprofit founded by philanthropists Penn and Ann Lee. The signature fundraiser attracts top art collectors and prominent figures from the art, entertainment, and design industries, according to the event website, with the goal of raising funds to support the organization’s humanitarian mission.
Described by Penn as a “tough as nails streetfighter with a big brain and bigger principles,” and by Forbes as a “revered” litigator who “brings the passion and legal expertise to private practice that made him notable as a federal prosecutor,” Rosengart has earned numerous accolades for his legal work. He has received Variety’s Power of Law award for legal excellence and philanthropy, the Beverly Hills Bar Association’s (BHBA) Excellence in Advocacy Award, and the Law Society of Trinity College of Dublin’s Praeses Elit Award. Rosengart also was named “Attorney of the Year” by Above the Law, a “California Lawyer of the Year” by the Daily Journal, a Litigation “Trailblazer” by The National Law Journal, a “Litigation Star” and “Entertainment Litigator of the Year” by Benchmark Litigation, a Media & Entertainment MVP by Law360, and an LA500 Visionary Leader by the LA Business Journal. Named one of the Top 200 Lawyers in America by Forbes and one of the 500 Leading Litigators in America by Lawdragon, Rosengart also is regularly recognized as one of the leading lawyers in the industry in both Variety’s Legal Impact Report and The Hollywood Reporter’s Power Lawyer Report. Having served two terms as a governor of the BHBA, Rosengart serves on the Dean’s Advisory Council of Tulane University and on the board of EB Research Partnership, a nonprofit organization founded by Jill and Eddie Vedder that funds research to find a cure for Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) a rare and potentially life-threatening skin disease often afflicting children.
CORE’s global humanitarian work spans five continents, striving to meet the needs of vulnerable communities. The organization and its on-the-ground partners respond to natural disasters, conflict, food insecurity, disease outbreaks, climate change, and public health emergencies, adapting as the communities’ needs evolve, according to the nonprofit’s website.
