Growth through M&A Trenam Law recently expanded by merging with Norton Hammersley Lopez & Skokos in Sarasota, adding nine attorneys and strengthening capabilities in real estate, business transactions, litigation, and private client services. This signals a strategic emphasis on regional scale and cross-practice coordination, presenting opportunities to offer complementary services such as corporate, banking, and real estate support for the expanded client base and synergistic referrals.

Gulf Coast Focus With offices in Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota and a recent Sarasota consolidation, Trenam is prioritizing a Gulf Coast footprint in high-growth markets. This creates openings for services aligned with increasing Gulf Coast real estate development, construction, finance, and litigation needs, as well as opportunities to partner on large regional projects.

Strong Reputation The firm is consistently recognized in top publications and directories and has a track record of attorney prominence, which can be leveraged to win engagements that require established credibility, such as complex transactional work, high-stakes litigation, and client referrals from other law firms seeking trusted partners.

Diverse Practice Breadth With over one hundred attorneys practicing across multiple groups in industries like real estate, development, banking, manufacturing, and technology, Trenam demonstrates potential for multi-disciplinary engagements. Target cross-sell opportunities across practice areas such as technology, financial services, and construction to existing and new clients.

Tech savvy & Client Service The firm employs modern tech stack elements (WordPress, Adobe Experience Cloud, Zendesk, Microsoft 365, Mimecast, Zoom) and emphasizes responsive, cost-conscious service. This presents opportunities to discuss digital transformation, contract lifecycle improvements, cybersecurity, and client portal enhancements as value-added services for current clients and prospects seeking efficient, tech-enabled legal support.
