What You Need to Know
- Government practices across many law firms are expecting an increased use in their services within the next few years.
- Part of the expected rise in business comes from expanding uncertainty.
- For Florida-rooted law firms, they're also seeing a bump thanks to the state's increased prominence in politics.
As a result of social backlash and government policies expected to continue rising in importance for businesses, at least three Florida-rooted law firms are expecting significant bumps in their government practices.
Government practice leaders at Becker & Poliakoff, Greenberg Traurig and Holland & Knight are all gearing up for a second Trump administration, which is expected to increase the need for their practice groups. Over the last few years, clients have been seeking more guidance within the space as social backlash and government policies have increasingly affected businesses across the U.S. Florida-born law firms are especially optimistic they’ll be tapped by clients as the state continues rising in political prominence under Trump.
