Foley & Lardner LLP partner Kevin Hyde is featured in a Capital Analytics Associates Q&A on the major achievements of Foley’s Jacksonville office, key trends in the legal market, and the firm’s commitment to client service and talent development.
“The office continues to grow with the addition of new lawyers,” Hyde said. “There’s a consistent demand for our services, which are largely corporate, real estate, and litigation, and particularly in key industry sectors. This aligns with Foley’s regional and national trends of expansion and growth.”
On trends in the Jacksonville market, Hayes noted “an increase in manufacturing, ranging from small to very large businesses, particularly in aerospace and businesses working at the Cecil Commerce Center.” He added that he is seeing similar upward trends for fintech and in the health care and life sciences sector.
“The outlook is good,” Hayes said when asked for his perspective on the coming years. “We are growing in our existing service areas and looking for new areas to enter, especially as our clients expand their footprint. Currently, we are focusing on key sectors such as manufacturing, financial services, life sciences and health, and energy. These sectors are poised for significant growth, and we want to ensure we are positioned to support and grow with them.”
