Three partners at Kennedys’ Miami-based LatAm practice have fallen into hot legal waters as the Florida Bar alleges that they have been practicing law without a state-relevant license. This occurrence, colloquially termed as the ‘Florida kerfuffle,’ has potentially substantial implications on the operations of the internationally renowned law firm and the broader discussions about licensing within the legal profession.
The partners in question are experienced members of the firm’s practice for Latin America and the Caribbean. Notably, despite their activities within Florida, none of the three individuals is licensed to practice in the state, precipitating this controversy.
Further details of the allegations, the response from Kennedys, and the potential impact on the law industry at large can be found in the
