Business Observer 03/08/13But some in legal circles believe that more statewide firms will scout opportunities in Southwest Florida because of changing demographics and increased business activity. “I think there’s going to be a greater provision of sophisticated legal services,” says Robert Bulloch, the managing partner for the Naples office of Quarles & Brady.
While large, Florida-based firms might have a dominant presence in many Florida cities, Midwest-based firms have traditionally filled that role in Southwest Florida.
