The coronavirus pandemic has a way of delaying things, and that's what happened to the Daily Business Review's annual Florida Legal Awards.
Trials may still be on a virtual hold, but the awards are ready.
The top award — Attorney of the Year — goes to Morgan & Morgan class action chief John Yanchunis. He is recognized for his leadership in the Yahoo and Equifax settlements on behalf of consumers last year and two decades of litigation in the cybersecurity field.

Amy O. Bruchs and Kurt F. Ellison of Michael Best & Friedrich have entered appearances for Epic Systems Corp. in a pending employment discrimination lawsuit.

The complaint alleges that had Sunrun informed the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection that the plaintiff's employment had ended in 2017 and that he no longer held Sunrun's home improvement contractor license, he would not have been hit with charges, which were dismissed in May 2024.
