Office Managing Partners Beth Alcalde and Eric Rapkin were highlighted in a Daily Business Review story titled, "New South Florida Managing Partners: A More Diverse Group." The publication noted that Alcalde took the helm of Akerman's three Palm Beach County offices only months before the West Palm Beach office moved to a larger location to accommodate the firm's anticipated growth. Eric Rapkin was one of two lawyers in Fort Lauderdale to assume the role of office managing partner last year.

"I am excited to take on my new role during a time when Akerman has achieved unprecedented growth and success," Alcalde said in a statement.
