The three counties of Southeast Florida (Miami-Dade, Broward, & Palm Beach), encompassing the metropolitan statistical area of Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Palm Beach, have seen booming population and economic growth in recent years.
Individuals, corporations, VC and foreign investment have been flooding the region in record numbers, allured by its warm climate and favorable tax environment. Sensing the same rising of tides, Big Law has also arrived in port.
Fourteen Am Law 200 law firms have expanded into Southeast Florida since 2018, either by opening an office via local lateral hiring, relocating attorneys from other offices, or by merging with local firms.
