The firm’s original four partners were engaged primarily in a burgeoning real estate practice. While our real estate practice and deep-rooted involvement in that industry remains an integral component of the firm, we have grown alongside the dynamic needs of our clients and community at large. Today, the firm’s lawyers advise clients on almost every aspect of business: from copyrights and trademarks to high-stakes, high-profile litigation; from complex commercial and residential real estate issues to wealth management; from labor and employment law to healthcare; from capital raising and entity formation to corporate growth and expansion locally, nationally and internationally.

On March 23, 2018, Governor Rick Scott signed House Bill 1447
into law, paving the way for easier access to alcoholic beverage
licenses for restaurants located in certain parts of downtown
Orlando. The new law establishes a “Downtown Restaurant
Area” in Orlando, lowering the burden for obtaining an
alcoholic beverage license for downtown-area restaurants.
Specifically, restaurants located in the new Downtown Restaurant
Area are now only required to have 1,800 square feet of contiguous
space (instead of 2,500 square feet) and be equipped to serve meals
to 80 persons at one time (instead of 150 persons). The existing
requirement that restaurants maintain on a monthly basis at least
51 percent of their overall revenue from the sale of food and
nonalcoholic beverages remains unchanged. A copy of HB 1447 can be
found here.
