Legal Powerhouses Dominate in South Florida

Blog|

Florida’s legal landscape is thriving, marked by an influx of investment, people, and commerce. This activity is fueling the growth of homegrown firms and attracting top-tier national and international firms. Beyond filling office space, the arrival and expansion of law firms is elevating the talent landscape and resulting in more sophisticated legal matters unfolding in the state.

The gradual expansion of Schwartz Media Strategies’ law and professional services practice has mirrored this growth. Our team counsels best-in-class law firms that are on the front lines of Florida’s legal sector – closing transactions, handling sensitive litigation matters, and helping to shape the future of communities across the state. From thought leadership and content marketing, to social media and curated events, our work focuses on keeping law firms in front of their clients, prospects, and referral sources on a consistent basis.

Each year, Law360’s Regional Powerhouse series spotlights firms that embody the economic and legal trends unfolding in their respective markets. For 2024, Law360 recognized five Florida firms, including Schwartz Media Strategies clients Bilzin Sumberg and Podhurst Orseck. This marked the first time that Podhurst Orseck was selected and it was Bilzin Sumberg’s return to the podium following its Regional Powerhouse recognition in 2021.

Podhurst Orseck consistently takes on the nation’s largest firms and wins, earning a reputation for “punching above their weight class.” Bilzin Sumberg, a five-time honoree, leads in sectors like real estate and infrastructure, managing billions in investment and high-stakes litigation as major national firm continue to enter Florida.

We’ve worked alongside firm leadership to strategically enhance their visibility, positioning them as thought leaders and key players in the evolving legal market, and created a compelling story. Our efforts ensured that both firms were recognized not only for their legal prowess but also for their deep commitment to the communities they serve and their leadership in shaping Florida’s business and legal landscape.

While both firms are built on different models and lead different types of matters, they have in common high standards of excellence, deep local roots, and a far-reaching commitment to their community.
