Becker & Poliakoff is adding a shareholder that will work within both its real estate practice in addition to its government law and lobbying practice with a focus on equestrian assets.

Donald Dufresne is joining Becker’s West Palm Beach office as a shareholder after spending about eight years at Fox Rothschild. His practice tends to encompass transactional work with an emphasis on real estate, and he’s particularly entrenched in the equestrian industry, which is continuing to grow in Wellington, a town west of West Palm Beach.
