Tampa Attorneys

Not many Tampa attorneys have amassed the kind of experience we possess at Shook, Hardy & Bacon L.L.P. (SHB). For nearly 10 years, we’ve helped clients and the community in Tampa. Attorneys with our firm, however, have more than a century of collective experience in dozens of areas of the law.

Founded more than a century ago in Kansas City, SHB operates from nine offices worldwide: Geneva, London, Kansas City, Tampa, Miami, Washington, D. C., Houston, Orange County and San Francisco. Attorneys in all our offices specialize in a variety of legal arenas. An area of focus for our San Francisco office is toxic tort.

One of the main areas of focus at SHB is Employment Litigation & Policy Practice. In Tampa, attorneys at SHB represent a number of Fortune 500 companies throughout the United States. In Chambers USA: America’s Leading Business Lawyers - A Clients’ Guide, we were “lauded for both its class action work and its effective advice to employers on federal compliancy issues.”

Several characteristics set us apart from other Tampa attorneys. We are known for ourr cost-effective litigation strategies and our ability to craft innovative solutions. We are a unique firm that seeks to promote diversity among Tampa attorneys and in the community. Our successes in both the courtroom and alternative dispute resolution have led The National Law Journal to name us to its Defense Hot List for “exemplary, cutting-work on the defense side.”

The SHB Employment Litigation & Policy Practice blurs the lines between traditional litigation services in providing comprehensive counsel to corporate employers. These attorneys focus on early case evaluation, effective motion practice and favorable summary judgment outcomes, as well as jury trials. We have extensive experience representing clients before the entire spectrum of quasi-judicial tribunals, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, state and local administrative agencies, and in alternative dispute resolution proceedings.

Our employment practice attorneys are known for winning jury trials and class action work. Although most cases handled are resolved favorably by summary judgment, SHB lawyers relish opportunities to try cases. The early and careful development of case themes is the foundation of the employment practice's remarkable litigation success.

SHB established our office in 2000 in Tampa. Attorneys in our Miami office are equally skilled and are available to help you as well. Contact us at the office most convenient for you.
