2 Florida legal elite july 2013 Floridatrend.com
Ten years ago, Florida Trend published its first Legal Elite special report, recognizing the top attorneys in the state as chosen by their peers. In this 10th Anniversary edition, we are pleased to report that the legal profession in Florida remains vibrant, with new practice areas represented in Legal Elite, increased statewide voting and a 43% increase in the number of firms with Legal Elite attorneys.
As we looked at the winner rosters over the years, we noted that some characteristics of the Legal Elite attorneys varied little: average age, years in practice, law schools represented. The most notable change is in the number of women. In 2004, women made up only 12% of the list; today women represent 23%. It's also interesting to note that women now make up 21% of the Legal Elite Hall of Fame, revealing women's emergence into the upper echelons of law in Florida.
Legal Elite voting has moved from paper ballots to online voting over the years, but the process remains unchanged. Balloting for this year’s list began in October 2012 when Florida Trend invited all in-state members of the Florida Bar to participate. Multiple announcements publicized the ballot deadline and voting guidelines.

Alphabetical Directory 37
Lawyers were asked to name attorneys whom they hold in the highest regard or would recommend to others. Voters were also asked to name three “up and coming” attorneys, and in a separate category, attorneys working in the government and non-profit sectors.
The ballots were processed, checked and tabulated by Bradenton-based Outsource America and EA Fernbacher LLC in St. Petersburg. Each lawyer was given a score based on the number of votes he or she received, with more weight given to votes from outside the firm. Only lawyers who are currently licensed and practicing in Florida were eligible for selection.
The list of top vote-getters was further examined using membership status and histories provided by the Florida Bar. A panel of previous Legal Elite winners, representing different practice areas in cities across the state, reviewed the selection process and the list of finalists.
The resulting lists represent fewer than 2% of the active Florida Bar members who practice in Florida.
This 10th Anniversary year, we induct an exceptional class of attorneys into the Legal Elite Hall of Fame. These 28 new members have achieved the special distinction of being chosen as Legal Elite every year for the past 10 years.

Florida Trend introduced the Legal Elite Hall of Fame in 2009 to recognize the most distinguished attorneys who had been named Legal Elite over the first five years of voting. The 48 attorneys in that inaugural list were selected by a diverse panel of lawyers from the pool of eligible candidates. Each year since 2009, a small number of new members has been added based on their ranking in that year's Legal Elite voting and panel review.
The 28 inductees named to the Hall of Fame this year (indicated by ◆) have achieved the special distinction of being named to Legal Elite every year for the past 10 years.

for Creative Public-Private Partnerships
For more on the proposed legislation and the Council, visit www.FCP3.org.

President Obama visited the Port of Miami Tunnel Project in March to highlight the use of Public-Private Partnerships to deliver large public works projects. The tunnel project will connect the port to the inter-state highway system and will take more than 1.5 million trucks out of the downtown area per year.
OppOrtunities GrOwinG
Developing a successful Public-Private Partnership,
also known as a P3, is becoming increasingly
attractive in Florida, but only for those who are
adequately prepared to navigate the somewhat
complicated process.
Encouraged by strong support from Governor Rick Scott, the Legislature passed a bill to change the bidding process on much-needed public projects to allow for unsolicited bids. The increased use of public-private partnerships for projects that previously have been underfunded is drawing attention to our state. Examples of eligible projects include university housing, water and sewer facilities, roads, bridges, hospitals and court-houses. New legislation, sponsored by Rep. Greg Steube, an attorney in Becker & Poliakoff’s Sarasota office, would open the door even wider for government entities to accept external funding sources, expedite needed projects, reduce costs, improve efficiency and transfer risk to the private sector.
“P3s are a win-win when you can enable the government to meet its obligation to provide public services while offering a profitable business opportunity for the private sector,” says Lee Weintraub, chair of Becker & Poliakoff’s P3 team. Former Miami-Dade County Manager and firm COO George Burgess and real estate attorney Jennifer Drake serve as co-vice chairs with Weintraub, who is an expert in construction law.
While there is nothing new about public-private partnerships, as is evidenced by recent projects such as Marlins Stadium and the Port of Miami Tunnel, support for this bill is essential in making the statement to international lenders that Florida is a P3-friendly state.
“When these lenders are deciding where to invest their money, they like states whose top leaders endorse the P3 concept as it gives a level of stability to the process,” Weintraub says. “It fosters uniformity among various governments for their respective P3s, creating more efficiency in the process and increasing the return to the private investors.”
The most important component of putting together a P3 team for the private side is having someone who knows and has relationships with key decision makers — and more importantly, truly understands what drives decision making at the public level.
“The decision of who to select for a P3 project is not based on a hard bid number,” says Burgess, who, as Miami-Dade County manager, negotiated and championed approval of the Port of Miami tunnel deal and numerous major infrastructure projects before leaving the county in 2012. “It’s based on qualifications, innovation in your plan and ideas for cost cutting and efficiency. In the end, the effectiveness of the consultant selected to assist in the process could make or break the opportunities of being a successful bidder on a P3 job.”
To help educate Florida companies and government entities on the value of P3 projects, Becker & Poliakoff helped launched the Florida Council for Public-Private Partnerships. The Council includes public owners, private builders, private lenders, and associate members such as lawyers, accountants and design professionals, to build relationships, share best practices and promote this increasingly popular method of serving public needs utilizing private dollars and knowhow.

“Professionalism and vigorous advocacy are
not mutually exclusive. We constantly strive to
bring the very best of both in the representation
of our clients. We know we’ve achieved that
when, as often happens, opposing counsel
recommends us to their friends and family.”
WITH MORE THAN 100 YEARS OF COMBINED EXPERIENCE, THE ICE LEGAL TEAM IS POSITIONED TO RESOLVE ISSUES FOR THEIR CLIENTS.
THE PASSION TO WIN
Thomas Erskine Ice
The Knowledge to Pursue Justice
The founding principles set when a company is started serve as a path for how decisions will be made as the business grows. In launching his own fi rm after an accomplished 25-year career in law, Thomas Erskine Ice set out to create a practice that doggedly pursues fairness, equality and justice for its clients. In fi ve short years, Ice Legal has secured its reputation as a fi rm that will work on diverse matters with both persistence and acumen — winning cases that were considered impossible to win.
As the fi rm has grown, that initial vision is still the guiding force of Ice Legal, PA. The attorneys focus on trial and appellate litigation for personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice, complex real estate
litigation and bankruptcy cases. They utilize a unique team approach, taking advantage of each attorney’s expertise and experience to achieve the best results for its clients.
The face of justice should shine equally on all, no matter their station in society. In championing the rights of consumers, the fi rm does not shy away from representing underdogs or unpopular clients. Nor does it hesitate to take on well-heeled opponents and their tall-building lawyers. Ice Legal gained a national reputation by uncovering key evidence that sparked the “robo-signing” mortgage foreclosure scandal, which ultimately resulted in a $25 billion settlement with some of the country’s leading fi nancial institutions.
