The History of Florida Trend and the Legal Elite

Florida Trend, a monthly business magazine established in 1958, has been a driving force in the Sunshine State’s business landscape for over six decades. It’s why 270,000 businesses, government and civic leaders rely on it for the latest news. That’s more than the entire population of St. Petersburg.

Recognizing the vital role that legal professionals play in the business community, Florida Trend introduced the Legal Elite awards in 2004. This annual recognition program honors the state’s top lawyers, as voted by their peers, for their outstanding achievements and contributions to the legal profession.
