Trenam is pleased to announce that 19 of the firm’s attorneys have been named to Florida Trend magazine’s 2016 Legal Elite list. The publication’s ranking made Trenam the top firm in the state for most women honorees.
Additionally, Robert A. Decker was included in Florida Trend’s Legal Elite Hall of Fame, which was created to honor those who have been Legal Elite winners for several years.

The Florida Legal Elite are the top lawyers practicing in Florida, according to the results of the magazine’s statewide surveys, in which lawyers are asked to name attorneys whom they hold in the highest regard and would recommend to others. The resulting list represents fewer than 2 percent of Florida Bar members actively practicing in Florida.
