WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (July 12, 2017) – Gunster, one of Florida’s oldest and largest full-service business law firms, is pleased to announce that its 2017 roster of 23 attorneys honored in Florida Trend’s Legal Elite 2017 makes Gunster one of the top 5 firms with the most honorees, according to the publication. Gunster’s 23 honorees are made up of 19 Legal Elite + 4 Up & Comers.
