Ed Tancer, a shareholder in Gunster’s West Palm Beach office, focuses his law practice on corporate governance, commercial transactions and general business counseling.
Tancer has long been dedicated to the local education community previously as chair of the Palm Beach County School Board Budget Advisory Committee and as a member of the board of directors of Suncoast High School Foundation.
