This week, Shutts & Bowen elevated one of its lawyers to serve as West Palm Beach managing partner, and he’s excited for the growth to come.

Matthew Chait started at Shutts as an associate almost 17 years ago and is now serving as the head of the firm’s West Palm Beach office currently staffed with 39 attorneys. During his time there, he’s worked primarily in the area of real estate litigation, one of the practices he’s looking to grow within the firm this year.
