Akerman Senterfitt was showcased in the Law360 article titled, "Akerman Senterfitt Takes New Office to Miami Entrepreneurs," which detailed the firm's opening of a satellite office at The LAB Miami, an entrepreneurial incubator located in the heart of Miami's Wynwood Art District. The article also acknowledges Akerman's forward-thinking and commitment to embedding within Miami's startup community as the city strives to become the nation's next major entrepreneurial hub.
"Disruptive technology and breakthrough business solutions are frequently born from collisions of discovery. We want our lawyers to integrate with an environment that allows these collisions to occur - helping to build a culture of collaborative innovation and continue to disrupt traditional methods of providing legal services," said Andrew Smulian, Akerman chairman and CEO.
"We couldn't be more excited to have a forward-thinking law firm like Akerman be part of the growing group of innovators at The LAB," said Matt Haggman, Miami program director at Knight Foundation. "The firm's addition to the space highlights the diversity of Miami's startup ecosystem, while reinforcing the need to create a strong support network for up-and-coming entrepreneurs."
