WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – June 10, 2019 - Gunster, one of Florida’s oldest and largest full-service business law firms, today announced that Traci Rollins has re-joined the firm as a shareholder in the business litigation practice. Rollins began her legal career at Gunster and has spent more than 30 years as a business litigator in South Florida. She will be based in the West Palm Beach office.
Rollins returns to Gunster with decades of experience representing public and private companies, financial institutions and nontraditional lenders.

Recognized for her impressive work in the legal field, Rollins was named one of the Most Effective Lawyers of 2017 by Daily Business Review under the bankruptcy category. She was selected for her representation of an insolvent eastern Caribbean-based insurance company with policyholders in the U.S. where she utilized Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code for cross-border proceedings, resulting in a $123 million judgement. In addition, Rollins was named among the list of Influential Business Women in a 2016 issue of the South Florida Business Journal.
Committed to the community, Rollins serves as the president of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation of the Greater Palm Beach County Chapter.
