Achieving Results


South Florida attorneys and litigation support professionals are dedicated to achieving results. From the initial filing to the final appeal, every step in a case requires the right blend of information, intelligence and attitude. That’s why our 2012 Midyear Report is focused on helping our professional community provide the highest level of service to their clients.

One of our features focuses on the latest developments and emerging trends in e-discovery — a discipline that impacts virtually every type of litigation.  In our electronic world, data is everywhere. As a result, legal teams need to know where relevant documents are stored and how to obtain the information they need in a timely and cost-effective manner.

South Florida is also a growing center for the arbitration of international commercial disputes.  A convenient, neutral venue for resolving “big-ticket” legal matters, Miami will be hosting one of the world’s most prestigious arbitration conference in 2014 — a clear sign of South Florida’s arrival on the world stage.

With this issue, we are beginning a planned series of articles on outstanding attorneys in various legal disciplines. To kick off the series, we are featuring six top plaintiff’s personal injury attorneys — all talented advocates for their clients and outstanding leaders in the courtroom and the community.

Our Midyear Report also includes “Top Lawyers: Class of 2012,” an introduction to the “Up and Comers” who will be moving to our “Top Lawyer” list in our next annual South Florida Legal Guide. To help them along the way, we’ve asked several of our veteran attorneys to provide them with advice on continuing to advance their careers in the future.

This issue also features guest columns by several of our Top Lawyers who have graciously volunteered to address timely issues facing our community, such as the challenge to judicial merit retention.

As our readers understand, South Florida Legal Guide’s publications serve the legal and business community, rather than a general consumer audience. With our Midyear Report, upcoming Financial Edition and year-end annual edition, we reach a growing professional audience that includes attorneys, accountants, forensic experts, bankers, financial service providers and other professionals.

We thank our contributors, advertisers and readers for their support, as we continue to serve the needs of South Florida’s diverse professional community.
