Our Tampa office strengthens our ability to support organizations shaping the region's growth, with a particular focus on public and affordable housing and community development. We work closely with developers, nonprofit entities, and public‑sector partners to advance projects that expand access to housing and revitalize neighborhoods. Tampa's dynamic business environment also calls for strong litigation capabilities, and our attorneys handle complex commercial disputes in state and federal courts, protecting clients' interests across a wide range of industries.

The area's robust construction and infrastructure activity allows our team to guide clients through every phase of project development, including contract negotiation, risk management, and dispute resolution. We also advise on environmental considerations that arise in land use, redevelopment, and compliance matters. Tampa's expanding corporate and real estate markets benefit from our counsel on business transactions, acquisitions, financing, and property development. In addition, we assist individuals and families with estate planning needs and support businesses facing insurance and liability defense challenges.

Representative Matters in Florida

We represented the owner of a South Florida commercial truck stop and fuel station, together with its tenant/operator, in a joint $23 million exit to a large, nationwide operator. The transaction required nearly two years of negotiations and machinations to secure the transfer of the assets. The deal highlights our ability to manage multi-party interests, unwind complex commercial relationships, and work creatively in pursuit of our clients’ objectives.

We advised the co-sponsors in the formation and execution of an institutional-scale fuel and convenience retail investment platform, providing integrated corporate, real estate, finance, securities, and tax counsel. The engagement included structuring and offering a tax-advantaged evergreen fund targeting approximately $250 million, designing a sophisticated multi-party ownership and acquisition structure, acquiring a portfolio of more than 75 fuel and convenience properties across eight states valued at over $350 million, and negotiating a $250 million syndicated credit facility to support ongoing growth. Our team coordinated all aspects of the platform, including joint venture arrangements, capital raising, acquisition and financing strategies, downstream property-holding vehicles, and real estate ownership structures designed to maximize depreciation benefits and future liquidity. We also advised on large-scale sale-leaseback transactions and tax-efficient monetization strategies, demonstrating our ability to guide sponsors through the full lifecycle of a fuel retail platform—from venture formation and acquisitions to operations, branding initiatives, real estate optimization, portfolio expansion, and tax-deferred reinvestment opportunities.

We secured final judgment for our clients in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia following a commercial contract dispute involving specialized industrial equipment. After the opposing party refused to release escrowed funds despite the satisfaction of all contractual conditions for payment, we successfully established our clients’ right to the funds through summary judgment. We continued to advocate for our clients through additional motion practice and appellate proceedings, ultimately securing final judgment directing the release of the escrowed funds and awarding prejudgment interest from the date payment became due. The court granted the requested relief in full, enforcing the settlement agreement and awarding both the escrowed funds and years of accrued interest.
