Law360 Recognizes Bilzin Sumberg as a Florida Regional Powerhouse for the Second Consecutive Year

Press Release
September 12, 2025

MIAMI, FL – September 8, 2025 – For the second year in a row – and the third time in the past five years – international legal publication Law360 has named Bilzin Sumberg a Florida Regional Powerhouse, one of only five firms in the state to earn the honor in 2025. Widely regarded among the most prestigious law firm honors in the legal industry, Law360’s Regional Powerhouse designation recognizes firms that make a significant impact both in their local markets and the broader legal landscape.

Now in its 26th year, Bilzin Sumberg is among the most active law firms in Florida, with more than 100 attorneys counseling clients statewide in real estate, corporate, tax, environmental, land development, procurement, antitrust, construction, and litigation matters.

“Our clients look to Bilzin Sumberg for guidance in times of both opportunity and uncertainty, and we are proud to consistently deliver creative solutions that move their businesses forward,” said Albert E. Dotson, Jr., Bilzin Sumberg’s CEO and Managing Partner, in the Law360 editorial profile.

In selecting Bilzin Sumberg, Law360 highlighted the firm’s role leading public-private partnerships valued at approximately $10 billion, its pipeline of real estate transactions totaling more than $1 billion, and its representation of major clients including Brightline, the Miami Dolphins, and Lennar. The firm was also recognized for its work on significant litigation matters, such as successfully handling a $110 million dispute involving the construction of Hard Rock Stadium’s roof canopy.

While the Regional Powerhouse recognition underscores Bilzin Sumberg’s position as a leader in Florida’s legal market, the firm’s work routinely stretches beyond the Sunshine State – particularly within the firm’s tax, antitrust, and corporate practices. Home to one of Florida’s largest and most active tax practices, the firm advises on complex matters that shape the state’s economic landscape as its corporate group counsels on transformative transactions that reflect Florida’s growing appeal among innovative industries such as healthcare and biotech. Its antitrust team secured the largest-ever verdict in an opt-out case - a $267 million award on behalf of client Avnet – cementing its national reputation in high-stakes litigation.

As Florida continues to attract new businesses and investment, Bilzin Sumberg remains the go-to firm for out-of-market law firms and their clients navigating this momentum.
