Ethics Ruling May Squeeze Out Becker & Poliakoff Attorney

Miami Beach City Commissioner Michael Gongora is considering resigning from Becker & Poliakoff in the wake of a controversial ethics ruling that members of his law firm are not allowed to represent clients before any city bodies because of his position.

Some -- mostly Cuban-American attorneys with sentimental ties -- want to help the country's legal system when the Communist regime falls. Others view the island as a lucrative source of business, from tourism and infrastructure to oil and "everything under the sun," as one firm partner puts it. But lawyers must still contend with the U.S. government's trade embargo.

Law Firm Layoffs Hit Florida

In what appears to be the first law firm layoffs in South Florida resulting from the sluggish economy, Orlando, Fla.-based Broad and Cassel has let go of several lawyers as well as at least a dozen paralegals and secretaries, according to a highly placed source at the firm.

Blogs Make for Nasty Times in Workplace
