Law360 Recognizes Bilzin Sumberg as a Florida Regional Powerhouse Firm
MIAMI, FL – September 29, 2026 – Law360 has once again named Bilzin Sumberg as a Florida Regional Powerhouse, marking the third consecutive year that the firm has earned the distinction. Bilzin Sumberg is one of only a select group of firms recognized for its role shaping the legal and business landscape across Florida, with honorees selected based on their work guiding the most significant matters and developments that unfolded in the state over the past year.
Widely regarded as one of the legal industry’s preeminent honors, Law360’s Regional Powerhouse designation highlights firms that combine deep local market knowledge with the ability to compete at the highest levels – statewide, nationally and internationally. Bilzin Sumberg’s multidisciplinary approach brings attorneys from across practice areas into matters from the outset, allowing the firm to address the legal, business and regulatory considerations involved in complex projects and transactions.
“This recognition is a testament to our culture of collaboration and our commitment to understanding the environment in which our clients operate,” said Albert E. Dotson, Jr., the firm’s CEO and Managing Partner. “Our teams work seamlessly across disciplines from the earliest stages of a matter, allowing us to deliver more efficient, strategic outcomes on the issues that matter most to our clients and to Florida’s continued growth.”
In its editorial profile of Bilzin Sumberg, Law360 spotlights the firm’s role as lead outside counsel to the Miami Host Committee for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which involved the firm handling all legal aspects of the global event.
As the article notes, the 28-year-old firm was one of the smallest in the country representing a city's host committee, underscoring Bilzin Sumberg’s ability to handle sophisticated, high-profile matters alongside much larger national and international firms.
Over the past year, the firm also advised on approximately $4 billion in real estate transactions, including the $512 million acquisition of Brickell City Centre, and helped secure approvals for major developments such as the Waldorf Astoria Hotel & Residences and HueHub, one of the largest projects proposed under Florida’s Live Local Act.
Bilzin Sumberg continues to play a key role in advancing housing development across Florida, securing entitlements for thousands of mixed-income and affordable units while helping clients navigate evolving legislation. The firm’s litigation and construction teams also remain active in complex disputes tied to major developments and infrastructure projects statewide. Complementing these capabilities, the firm’s Tax and Private Wealth attorneys work across practices on transactions, investments, and business and wealth planning matters for high-net-worth individuals, families, family offices, and other clients in Florida, across the U.S. and abroad.
Equally central to the firm’s recognition is its deep connection to the community, including longstanding involvement with organizations such as Lotus House and work on projects that directly impact neighborhoods across South Florida.
Bilzin Sumberg continues to serve as a go-to firm for clients across Florida and out-of-market counsel navigating the state’s growth, combining deep local insight with multidisciplinary capabilities to address the increasingly complex legal, business and regulatory demands of the Florida market.
