2016 Annual Florida Bar Convention: Updates in Business Law

At the 2016 Annual Florida Bar Convention, Legal Talk Network producer Laurence Colletti interviews Jay Kim, business litigator and member of The Florida Bar board of governors, about the updates in business law in Florida over the past year. Jay points out the overall stability in commercial litigation despite economic climates and how Florida law is pretty friendly toward businesses overall. He goes into the proposal for settlement statute providing for the collection of attorneys’ fees and how it is evolving. Laurence and Jay then shift to discuss the upcoming year. Jay explains how a recent Florida Supreme Court judgement on the way workers’ compensation attorneys’ fees are calculated will likely affect businesses, solo attorneys, and many workers across the state.
