We are pleased to announce the launch of the firm's Complex Trial Team, a defined subset of trial attorneys within the Complex Litigation & Dispute Resolution practice group. "We are dedicating resources to further develop this high-stakes practice area, led by litigation shareholder and board member Steven Rothman, who has significant experience as one of the most accomplished trial attorneys in the region," said Chairman Scott Hawkins.

In The Florida Bar RPPTL Section's Spring 2026 edition of ActionLine, Jones Foster attorney Alexander M. Parthemer, LL.M., along with Sasha A. Klein, LL.M., of PwC US, and David S. Sennett, LL.M., Independent IRA Consultant, examine the revised allocation framework of Fla. Stat. § 738.409, including new definitions, calculation methods, and safe harbor provision, offering practical guidance for trustees navigating these complex fiduciary responsibilities.

Jones Foster attorneys combined their extensive knowledge and experience across practice areas to successfully represent the Town of Jupiter in a lawsuit regarding the Town’s right to create a fire department. The legal team included Shareholder and Land Use & Governmental Practice Group Co-Chair Thomas J. Baird, Town Attorney for the Town of Jupiter; litigation shareholders Travis J. Foels and Joanne M. O’Connor; and litigation attorneys Brett T. Lashley and Lainey W. Francisco.
