Message from the Chair

What an incredible few weeks it’s been for the Business Law Section! 


Our Spring EC Retreat was a whirlwind of energy, connection, and unforgettable moments. While our hockey team may not have brought home the trophy, we scored big in Montreal with camaraderie, dove into Ottawa’s legal scene with Canadian lawyers and legislators, and soaked up the rich history of Quebec City. The real win? The quality time spent with friends and colleagues, making memories that will last long after the ice has melted.


But the excitement doesn’t stop there! Our grand finale CLE of the Bar year is coming up: the much-anticipated Legislative Update hosted by the Business Litigation Committee. Registration is officially open, and this is an event you can’t afford to miss. Get ready for:


• The latest legislative session highlights

• A deep dive into recent case law shaping the business landscape

• A keynote presentation by Florida Supreme Court Justice Grosshans


Secure your spot now—this seminar promises to deliver insights and inspiration you’ll use all year long.


And that’s just the beginning. Our podcast library is bursting with fresh content! Upcoming episodes will tackle today’s hottest business law topics, and if you’re looking to catch up or earn CLE hours, our on-demand archive has you covered.

Looking to grow your network and leadership skills? The Business Law Section Fellows Program is now accepting applications! If you’ve been practicing in the Florida Bar for less than 10 years (or are under 36) and focus on business law, this is your chance to join a dynamic community of rising stars. Details and application info are available on our website at this link.


And mark your calendars: the 2025 Labor Day Retreat is set for the JW Marriott Marco Island Resort. If you remember our legendary 2022 gathering, you know this is an event not to miss. Incoming Chair Stephanie Lieb is already crafting an agenda packed with learning and fun. We can’t wait to reunite with you on the beach!


Let’s keep the momentum going—see you at our next event!
