South Florida’s status as an international trade, transportation and tourism center is likely to grow substantially in coming years, particularly in its cruise and container cargo business. As trade, tourism and transportation get busier, so will the legal community.
Although litigation grabs headlines, most legal work in transportation law and allied fields will take place outside courtrooms. We can expect higher demand for legal services in this industry over the next few years in the areas of real estate development, environmental law, land use, permitting, wetlands mitigation, financing and public-private partnerships.
