Tampa Attorney

If you are looking for a Tampa attorney, consider the global law firm of Shook, Hardy & Bacon L.L.P. (SHB). Established in the landmark Regions Bank Building in 2000, every Tampa attorney with the firm has unique strengths in areas such as products liability, business litigation, intellectual property and appellate & trial consulting.

SHB has briefed and argued cases in state and federal appellate courts, as well as before regulatory agencies and military tribunals, throughout the United States. The typical SHB Tampa attorney has worked with our Appellate & Trial Consulting Practice to successfully represent parties in numerous substantive areas, including products liability; intellectual property; contract disputes; mass, toxic and other torts; pharmaceutical and medical device litigation; banking and UCC litigation; insurance coverage; and environmental and land use litigation; and in challenges to proposed state constitutional amendments and administrative rules.

Every Tampa attorney has access to countless resources in our firm. In fact, we’ve accumulated more than a century of experience that keeps us on the cutting edge of our industry. We work closely with clients and trial counsel to formulate appellate strategies; identify and research critical issues; draft and edit briefs and petitions for extraordinary writs; present oral arguments; prepare post-appeal motions; and mediate cases that are pending on appeal. We also provide valuable services at the trial court level by assisting with the development of legal theories and by preparing summary judgment and other dispositive motions that involve legal issues likely to be the subject of appellate review, as well as jury instructions, jury verdict forms, directed verdict motions, and post-trial motions.

Due to the nature of this work, an SHB appellate attorney may be called on to consult, assist or assume primary responsibility for an entire appeal. Because appeals are based entirely on the written record of the trial court proceedings, it is not necessary that appellate counsel be located in the same jurisdiction or geographic region where the trial was conducted which is why a Tampa lawyer is able to help a client no matter where he or she is located. When taking an appeal from an adverse decision or when defending a favorable judgment, SHB’s appellate attorneys will ensure that appellate procedures are followed correctly and that the final product is first-rate in substance, form and professional quality.

Each SHB Tampa lawyer can be reached at our office in the landmark Regions Bank Building. Contact us today to learn how we can help you.
