Fort Lauderdale, Fla. - Burr & Forman LLP is pleased to announce the relocation of its Fort Lauderdale office to 350 East Las Olas Boulevard, Suite 1420, Fort Lauderdale, Fla. 33301. The firm is taking 9,508 square feet of new office space to accommodate the growth of the firm's South Florida practice since opening its Fort Lauderdale office in 2012.

"South Florida serves as a gateway to many industries and companies that operate in our firm's Southeastern footprint, and like all of our newer markets, the opening of a Fort Lauderdale office was in direct response to client requests," said John Chiles, managing partner of Burr & Forman's Fort Lauderdale office. "Our relocation offers us the ability to add talented attorneys and to expand our service offerings in South Florida. Following our Tampa office opening two years ago, and the expansion of our Orlando office, we are well positioned to serve clients with needs throughout the state."

Burr & Forman's Fort Lauderdale office includes attorneys who practice in the areas of banking and financial institution litigation, financial services, and real estate. A number of the firm's institutional financial services clients have needs in South Florida that are managed out of this office. Chiles, who relocated his financial services practice from Burr & Forman's Birmingham office in 2012, leads the group.

"With this expansion comes the opportunity for us to add hardworking and successful attorneys who have the same commitment to client service that we appreciate at Burr & Forman," said William "Lee" Thuston, firmwide managing partner of Burr & Forman. "We are pleased to be on an upward growth trend in South Florida, and are thankful for the clients who have allowed us the opportunity to serve them here."

Burr & Forman's Florida strength includes nearly 80 attorneys firmwide licensed in Florida with offices in Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Tampa, in addition to six other offices throughout the Southeast.
