International Legal Publication Law360 Selects Bilzin Sumberg as a 2024 Florida Regional Powerhouse
MIAMI, FL – International legal publication Law360 has named Bilzin Sumberg as a Florida Regional Powerhouse for 2024. As one of only five Florida law firms selected, Law360 describes Bilzin Sumberg as being deeply connected across the state, with a significant presence in sectors including housing, transportation, education, real estate, and infrastructure.
"It was really a year of both business and courtroom victories," Litigation Partner Melissa Pallett-Vasquez told Law360.
Regarded as one of Florida’s premier commercial law firms, Bilzin Sumberg was lauded by Law360 for leading public-private partnerships (P3s) which are “among the largest and most active in the Sunshine State.” Managing Partner Albert E. Dotson, Jr. told the publication that the P3 practice “has continued to grow statewide as our state's infrastructure needs grow and our state's housing needs grow.” All told, the Firm led projects valued above $10 billion last year.
The Firm’s litigation practice was recognized for representing some of the largest and most well-known companies in Florida, including the Miami Dolphins, Royal Caribbean Group and homebuilder Lennar.
Corporate and finance practice group leader David M. Seifer, whose team helped a South Florida-based technology company through the sale of defense firm Conquest Cyber said, “Our customer-centric approach ... starts from all the way down from the associates up through the partners working on the matters.”
In addition, Law360 noted Bilzin Sumberg’s work beyond Florida, including guiding a major mixed-use development in Connecticut over the span of 18 years, and securing the largest-ever verdict in an antitrust opt-out case: a $267 million award in 2023 on behalf of client Avnet.
“We have been very busy because Miami is our home, and South Florida is our home,” added real estate and finance chair Suzanne Amaducci. “But we do work all over the country.”
