Just 90 days after hatching the idea of opening in Miami, Jacksonville law firm Boyd & Jenerette had leased a downtown office, hired four lawyers and planted a flag in the city the firm is hoping will expand its business reach to Latin America.
“Miami is to Latin America what New York was to Europe,” said Glen McCarty, managing partner of the 36-lawyer firm. “We want to tap into the market, the talent and the geographics of Miami itself. Other markets outside the United States have flourished in the economic downturn. We’re seeing the opportunity for more inbound traffic wanting to enter into the marketplace through Miami.”
