Gunster Tampa Office Managing Shareholder Bill Schifino was recently interviewed for Capital Analytics Associates (CAA) Invest Tampa publication. An excerpt of the article was published in CAA's weekly spotlight section. The article dives into three major topics: the increase of law firms in the region, Gunster's statewide presence and being a steward of one's community.
Having been in the legal industry for over 30 years, Schifino believes there is plenty of work for quality firms in the Tampa Bay region and explains the benefits of these firms collaborating with one another. Also, he discusses Gunster's statewide presence as a main attraction to join the firm as he can offer his clients statewide coverage and has confidence that their needs will be handled. Lastly, Schifino mentions how important it is to give back to those less fortunate and encourages those in his profession to commit to pro bono work.
Schifino is a board certified specialist in the area of business litigation. His practice focuses on litigation and trial practice. He served as President of the Florida Bar for the 2016-2017 term and is also a member of the board of trustees for the University of Florida Levin College of Law.
