Bilzin Sumberg Named Partner Alan D. Axelrod Passes
Miami, May 19, 2023 - “All of us at Bilzin Sumberg were saddened to learn of Alan Axelrod’s sudden passing on May 16, 2023. Alan was a pillar of Bilzin Sumberg since our Firm’s launch 25 years ago. Throughout his 45-year legal career, Alan’s work in the corporate arena put him at the center of many of the largest transactions that took place in Florida, and across the country. There was no client or matter too large or complex for Alan.
“Anyone who had the pleasure of working with Alan will remember him for his expansive knowledge of the law and his unmatched commitment to client service. Alan trained, mentored, and influenced countless attorneys over the years, and that lasting impact will be Alan’s legacy at Bilzin Sumberg and throughout our legal community.
“Alan was a friend, partner, and trusted advisor. He put the best interests of others before his own, and he was always available to support his peers and give back to our community when called upon. Alan’s memory will live on through the work of so many others whose lives and careers he helped shape.”
- Albert E. Dotson, Jr., Managing Partner
