Industries Where
Florida's Legal Work
Gets Done
We focus on five sectors that define Florida's commercial legal landscape. Deep knowledge of each industry's legal needs allows us to make placements that generic recruiting firms cannot.
Automotive
Florida's automotive industry is undergoing its most significant transformation since mass motorization. The state has the third-largest vehicle market in the nation and is among the first jurisdictions to authorize commercial autonomous vehicle operations.
Roles We Place
Market Trend
Autonomous vehicle regulation is creating an entirely new specialty within automotive law. Attorneys who build expertise in AV liability, NHTSA regulatory compliance, and machine learning evidence standards now will define this practice area for decades.
Financial Services
Miami's emergence as a major financial services hub — anchored by the relocation of Citadel, an expanding private equity ecosystem, and Florida's status as the gateway to Latin American capital — has created a legal talent market unlike anything the state has previously experienced.
Roles We Place
Market Trend
Florida's regulatory arbitrage advantages relative to New York, combined with the influx of hedge funds and private equity firms, has created acute demand for securities and investment management attorneys who are willing to relocate. The compensation premium for this profile in Florida is substantial.
Insurance
Florida generates more insurance litigation than any other state, by significant margin. The combination of catastrophic weather exposure, the state's unique Bad Faith statute, an aggressive plaintiff bar, and a complex regulatory environment makes Florida insurance law a genuinely specialized practice.
Roles We Place
Market Trend
Florida's property insurance crisis has created a permanent restructuring of the market. As global carriers reassess their Florida exposure and specialty carriers fill the gap, in-house legal teams at insurers are growing and outside counsel panels are being rebuilt. The demand for insurance defense attorneys with CAT claims experience is at historic highs.
Real Estate
Florida's commercial real estate market has surpassed the $120 billion annual transaction threshold, driven by corporate relocations, foreign institutional capital, multifamily development demand, and Opportunity Zone activity across all major markets.
Roles We Place
Market Trend
The complexity of Florida real estate transactions has increased dramatically. EB-5 structures, institutional joint ventures with complex waterfall provisions, and cross-border tax planning for foreign purchasers require a level of sophistication that distinguishes the market's top transactional attorneys from the volume practitioners.
Construction
Florida's construction sector is generating litigation at unprecedented rates, driven by the Champlain Towers structural safety compliance mandate, over $20 billion in FDOT infrastructure projects, and the ongoing aftermath of multiple hurricane seasons affecting residential and commercial construction across the state.
Roles We Place
Market Trend
The Champlain Towers legislation has created a sustained pipeline of structural inspection disputes, remediation contract claims, and insurance coverage litigation that will work through Florida courts for years. Attorneys with deep construction litigation experience and familiarity with the Florida Building Code and engineering standards are among the most sought-after in the state.
