Being an army lawyer in South Florida usually means all hands on deck when a hurricane hits. But this time, for Edward O’Sheehan of Shutts & Bowen’s Fort Lauderdale office, it meant bracing for a pandemic.
While the public were ordered to stay at home, Col. O’Sheehan was helping transform the Miami Beach Convention Center into a 450-bed COVID-19 field hospital and helping establish testing sites at C.B. Smith Park, Hard Rock Stadium, Marlins Park and Amelia Earhart Park. They also sent teams to nursing homes to test residents and staff.
