Press Release
October 29, 2024

Miami, FL – Bilzin Sumberg is proud to announce that the firm has been awarded the 2024 P3 Award for its Culture and Diversity category. The Culture and Diversity award recognizes both the rich diversity of Bilzin Sumberg’s public-private partnerships (P3) practice group, as well as the wider firm’s robust programming and initiatives surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion in the legal profession. The P3 Awards, a prominent and highly competitive award series, recognize and reward the best in P3s across a range of specialties and industries.

Bilzin Sumberg’s P3 practice group is a recognized leader in Florida, serving as the key legal representation on various multi-billion dollar public-private partnerships throughout the state. In the past year, the P3 group has advised clients on more than $10 Billion in projects, and the group’s recent experience includes rail and transit facilities, airports, seaports, city halls, marinas, sports facilities, convention centers, healthcare/life sciences facilities, educational institutions, water and sewer facilities, parking structures, and various other infrastructure developments.

Bilzin Sumberg was selected as a result of the firm’s ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion within the firm, serving as a leader and role model for companies operating in the P3 space. The firm’s P3 team boasts a significant representation of women and ethnic minorities, with over 80% of its members coming from underrepresented backgrounds. This diversity enriches the practice’s services and capabilities while reflecting the diverse demographics of South Florida.

The extraordinary diversity of Bilzin Sumberg’s P3 practice differentiates the group from others in the industry. As noted by the 2024 P3 Award judges, “Bilzin Sumberg’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is demonstrated through both its diverse leadership and the extensive range of DEI initiatives it supports. The firm’s growth in 2023, particularly within its P3 practice, is notable, as is its proactive approach to embedding DEI in its hiring practices and community engagement. The firm’s efforts to reflect and support the diversity of the South Florida community are commendable.”
