With Hurricane Irma picking its Florida track, Greenberg Traurig corporate shareholders Brian J. Gavsie and Flora R. Perez in Fort Lauderdale raced to close a $475 million secondary public offering of Nomad Foods Ltd. ordinary shares.

“The offering was happening with or without us,” said Gavsie, who focused on underwriting and execution while Perez focused on disclosure documents and Securities and Exchange Commission and accounting-related issues.

“These deals in particular work on tight timelimes,” Perez said. “We had to focus on the deal and how quickly to do it and not so much on the storms, which is good because it just goes on forever,” she added of preparing and waiting for the storm. “It was nice to have something time pressing and important to work on.”
