Gunster is clearly focused on the industries that drive Florida’s economic engine. With the fourth largest population and GDP in the country, Florida is a critical player on a national and international scale. The state's role as an international hub for trade and business continues to flourish and contributes to the economic vitality of the region. In addition to being considered the gateway to the Latin America marketplace, Florida is experiencing significant growth in a variety of industries including health care, technology, hospitality, transportation and agriculture. The state's importance in the world of banking and financial services cannot be underestimated: South Florida is home to the second highest concentration of international banks in the nation. Gunster has strength in all of these sectors. Our legal services help businesses grow, expand and relocate to Florida. Additionally, Gunster's Government Affairs practice plays a key role in helping to navigate the oftentimes complex state legislative and administrative processes. Our Tallahassee-based team assesses client issues from a legal and political framework, and offers counsel on economic opportunities and legislative budget and appropriation issues. Gunster's statewide presence allows for superior customer service to the firm’s international, national and local clients, who receive immediate access to lawyers experienced in a broad range of practices. Our attorneys are connected in a leadership capacity to the communities we serve through various business and philanthropic organizations. In this way, our sphere of influence remains Florida-focused, to the benefit of our clients.
