Fox Rothschild partner Steven Zelkowitz has been promoted to managing partner of the firm's Miami office. He succeeds partner Joseph DeMaria, who held the title for five years.
“I'm very excited and humbled to take on this new role and appreciate the trust the firm has put in me to lead the Miami office and grow the Miami office,” Zelkowitz said.
In addition to his new role as head of the Miami office, Zelkowitz also serves as co-chairman of the firm's infrastructure and development industry practice. His practice involves complex real estate, land use and zoning matters for both public and private clients.
The promotion was not unexpected: Zelkowitz managed GrayRobinson's Miami office before he jumped to Fox Rothschild last August. At the time of his move, DeMaria indicated he was in line to assume the same position at Fox Rothschild.
More than a month after Zelkowitz joined, three other GrayRobinson partners—Michael Sastre, Aaron Epstein and Dania Saavedra—jumped over to Fox Rothschild.
Firm chairman Mark Silow also noted that Zelkowitz will oversee more growth for the firm's South Florida office.
“Twenty-five to 50 lawyers would seem to be a very good target to shoot for over time,” Silow said.
Fox Rothschild's Miami office opened in 2013, when the firm brought aboard banking lawyer Raul Valdes-Fauli from Fowler Rodriguez Valdes-Fauli, which is now called Fowler Rodriguez.
Silow said at the time that Miami had been on the firm's radar screen ever since it got established in West Palm Beach in 2005.
“We realized that Miami is a very distinct market from Palm Beach,” Silow said. “A lot of business we have in Palm Beach is Miami-based litigation so it will be helpful to have a presence in Miami.”
