Ft. Lauderdale, FL. - Burr & Forman LLP is pleased to announce the addition of Laurence S. Litow as a partner in the firm's Fort Lauderdale office and a member of the Commercial Litigation practice group. Litow's arrival follows the firm's recent relocation to a larger office in Fort Lauderdale to accommodate the growth of the firm's South Florida practice since the office opened in 2012.

"Larry's experience handling complex litigation for a wide range of industries, coupled with his dedication to client service, complement the firm's focus on advancing our clients' business goals throughout our Florida offices and Southeastern footprint," said John Chiles, managing partner of Burr & Forman's Fort Lauderdale office. "As South Florida continues to see great economic growth, we will continue to strategically expand our services in the region and throughout the state in response to the business and legal needs facing our clients."

Litow focuses his practice on business and commercial litigation, including matters related to real estate and lender liability defense, construction lien litigation, partnership and shareholder disputes, trade secrets and non-disclosure agreements, construction defect litigation, as well as litigation in banking, contracts, fraud, trust, bankruptcy and probate. He has experience representing closely held and Fortune 500 companies, as well as government agencies and financial institutions.
