Gellis Law Joins Florida Transportation Builders Association (FTBA)
I’m pleased to announce that Gellis Law, PLLC has joined the Florida Transportation Builders Association (FTBA). Having served as both General Counsel of the Florida Department of Transportation and Chief of Staff of the Department of Management Services, I bring unique insight into transportation construction and procurement matters.
Understanding Transportation From Both Sides
During my tenure at FDOT, I supervised legal operations across seven districts and directed strategy for a $12 billion work program. This experience, combined with my leadership of Florida’s central procurement agency at DMS, provides valuable perspective on both transportation operations and government contracting processes.
Deep Procurement Experience
Transportation success often hinges on procurement expertise. Having overseen major infrastructure procurements and maintained an undefeated record in bid protest litigation, I understand what it takes to succeed in Florida’s complex procurement landscape. From design-build contracts to construction bids, strategic procurement knowledge proves essential for transportation industry success.

Now unrestricted by post-employment limitations, we provide sophisticated representation in:
- Major infrastructure projects
- Design-build contracts and procurement
