Dinsmore & Shohl LLP is excited to build on recent expansion momentum in Florida by merging with Shankman Leone, a boutique law firm in Tampa. Effective February 1, the merger adds a 10-attorney team with expertise in labor and employment, franchise and distribution, construction and commercial litigation. This new endeavor is fueled by the rapid success of Dinsmore’s strategic expansion into the Sunshine State, including growth in Miami and Orlando. These efforts have generated strong financial results while attracting first-class legal talent.

With deep experience in management-side labor negotiations and collective bargaining, as well as employment matters like employment discrimination defense and wage and hour compliance, Shankman Leone’s respected team rounds out Dinsmore’s strong national practice in these areas. The group’s additional experience in franchise law, including counseling and the representation of emerging and mature franchise systems in litigation, regulatory and transaction matters, enhances the Firm’s service offerings and reinforces its long-term commitment to clients across Florida and nationwide.

“Our expansion into Florida has been driven by client demand in one of the nation’s most dynamic and rapidly evolving markets,” said Joshua Lorentz, Dinsmore’s Managing Partner. “It has represented a real success story for our Firm. By deepening our presence in the state, we’re positioned to respond to demand from businesses for practical counsel to navigate complex workplace issues and seize new opportunities in areas including franchising.”
