Akerman opens outpost at LAB Miami

Akerman Senterfitt, Florida’s largest law firm, said Wednesday that it has set up an office in  The LAB Miami, a co-working space and education center in Wynwood, as part of its corporate commitment to supporting Miami's entrepreneurial ecosystem.

 Mary Carroll, chair of Akerman's Corporate Practice Group, said a small group of attorneys in the real estate, corporate and intellectual property practices will be rotating in and out of the office and interacting with startups. The firm will also be sponsoring events, such as a “Tech Swizzle” networker on Sept. 6, as well as hosting educational workshops on various law topics important to startups. "With the next wave of entrepreneurs and international investors converging at the LAB, Miami has many of the elements needed to succeed as a startup mecca,” Carroll said.
