Transportation & Infrastructure Practice

Unique Agency Perspective

Few law firms can offer the depth of transportation agency experience we bring to complex matters. As the former General Counsel and member of FDOT’s Executive Leadership Team, we helped shape policy decisions, guided major infrastructure initiatives, and managed legal strategy for an agency with a $12 billion work program. This insider’s understanding of agency operations, decision-making processes, and regulatory priorities provides our clients with strategic advantages in:

  • Navigating complex regulatory requirements
  • Resolving procurement challenges
  • Structuring infrastructure deals
  • Managing agency relationships
  • Addressing compliance issues
  • Handling contract disputes
