Florida Trial Counsel for Out-of-State Attorneys

Integrated With Your Team

The role can range from Florida trial strategy and preparation through Targeted Trial Support, co-counsel, or Lead Trial Counsel, including primary or sole trial responsibility when appropriate. The structure depends on the matter, court, admission requirements, and the role the originating firm wants to retain.

Potential responsibilities

• Florida trial strategy and court-specific preparation
• Depositions, witnesses, experts, evidence, and motions
• Co-counsel and divided trial responsibilities
• Lead Trial Counsel
• Primary or sole trial responsibility when appropriate
• Coordination with pro hac vice or other admission requirements
• Jury selection, opening, examinations, closing, and preservation

Your Client Stays Yours

The objective is an integrated team, not displacement of the firm that brought the matter to Florida. Roles, communications, client contact, and trial responsibilities are defined so the originating firm can remain involved at the level the matter and governing rules permit.
