Crosbie Gliner Schiffman Southard & Swanson LLP (CGS3), a Southern California commercial real estate law firm, has named Dorothy Groza as senior counsel to the firm. Specializing in commercial real estate, business transactions and dispute resolution, she joins CGS3’s complex transactions practice group and is based in the firm’s Los Angeles office.

Concurrently, she also managed her own law firm, Groza Law, for nine years – facilitating the acquisition, disposition, leasing and development of over $900 million in real estate transactions on behalf of clients in the hospitality, food and beverage, retail, multifamily and technology sectors.
According to CGS3 founding partner Sean Southard, Groza is an important addition to the CGS3 team and a testament to firm’s commitment to attracting best-in-class real estate lawyers. “Dorothy is a proven deal maker and entrepreneur who knows how to think outside the box. Her background as both general counsel and a private practice attorney fits perfectly with our strategic business model – she will be a huge asset in helping our Los Angeles based team expand our presence in California and beyond.”
In her off time, Groza is a vintage auto and motorcycle enthusiast and enjoys rally driving and racing the Norra Mexican 1000 in Baja California.
