We operate from Boca Raton and Palm Beach Gardens, where the firm has practiced since 1984. We integrate with your team, communicate in the formats you expect, and protect the relationship you have with your client.

Service Details

Four ways we support
your Florida matters.

Title insurance

We handle title commitments, underwriting, coverage analysis, and closings for Florida-based transactions. When your client acquires, finances, or disposes of Florida property, we manage the title side so you can stay focused on the deal terms.

Florida legal opinions

Enforceability, due authorization, and authority opinions on Florida-law documents and entities. We work within the opinion protocols your firm and lender require, and we turn them on the timelines commercial transactions demand.

Localized litigation

Florida state and federal court representation for clients based outside the state. We handle day-to-day court appearances, motion practice, and proceedings while keeping lead counsel fully informed and in control of strategy.

Trust, estate & probate administration

Florida administration of trusts, estates, and probate proceedings for clients whose primary counsel is based in another state. We handle the local filings, court appearances, and asset administration, and we coordinate closely with your team throughout.

  • We integrate with your team's communication and billing protocols
  • We keep lead counsel informed at each stage, without creating noise
  • We do not market directly to your clients or expand our scope without your approval

Common Questions

Florida local counsel,
the questions outside firms ask.

What is Florida local counsel?

Florida local counsel is a licensed Florida law firm that handles the Florida-specific parts of a matter for a national or regional firm whose primary relationship is with the client. We appear in Florida courts, issue Florida legal opinions, and manage Florida real estate, title, and estate administration while your firm keeps the lead role.

When do national or regional firms need Florida local counsel?

Typically when a client acquires, finances, or sells Florida real estate; faces litigation in a Florida court; needs an enforceability or authority opinion on Florida-law documents; or must administer a trust, estate, or probate in Florida. We provide the on-the-ground Florida presence those matters require.

Will you work directly with our client or compete for the relationship?

No. We support your firm, we do not replace it. We communicate through you, bill transparently, stay within the agreed scope, and do not market to your client. Our role is to make your firm look good in Florida.

What Florida matters does the firm handle for outside counsel?

Real estate transactions at the center, plus title insurance, Florida legal opinions, localized litigation, and trust, estate, and probate administration. The firm has closed more than $2 billion in Florida real estate and has practiced from Boca Raton and Palm Beach Gardens since 1984.

Where is the firm located and what areas do you serve?

We operate from offices in Boca Raton and Palm Beach Gardens and serve clients on Florida matters throughout the state.
