Great job by Brenna Spinner this morning at the Florida Justice Association Annual Convention.

Along with co-presenter Dimitri Peteves, Brenna helped deliver a case law update covering many of the most significant Florida decisions from the past year. The presentation touched on a wide range of issues affecting trial lawyers, including insurance bad faith, sovereign immunity, punitive damages, premises liability, expert testimony, and ethics issues.

There was a lot of valuable information packed into a relatively short presentation, and attendees walked away with a strong overview of recent developments in Florida law.

If you have questions about any of the issues discussed, Brenna and our team are here to help.

We’re proud to have her on the Swope, Rodante team.

Congratulations to our Managing Partner, Dale Swope, on receiving the Florida Justice Association’s prestigious Excalibur Eagle Award.

This honor recognizes attorneys whose extraordinary commitment and lifetime contributions to the FJA Eagle Program have helped preserve and protect Florida’s civil justice system. As part of this recognition, Dale was presented with a custom portrait that will be displayed at FJA Headquarters alongside other Excalibur Eagle recipients.

We are incredibly proud of Dale and grateful for his leadership, service, and unwavering commitment to fighting for those who need a voice.

And judging by the smiles in the last photo, it’s safe to say the rest of our attorneys are pretty excited for him, too!

Spotting the Hidden Products Liability Case
3:15 PM

Product liability claims are not always obvious at first glance. This session will explore how attorneys can identify potential product-related causes of action hidden within cases that may initially appear to involve other theories of liability.

If you're attending the convention at The Breakers Palm Beach, we hope you'll join Brent for this discussion.

What happens when the preemption fight ends, and the real litigation begins?

Attorney Taylor McKnight breaks down the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC in his recent JD Supra publication, analyzing how broker-liability cases may increasingly turn on evidence, carrier selection practices, contractual obligations, and litigation strategy.

The article offers important insight for transportation and trucking litigators navigating the evolving landscape after Montgomery.

Attorney Natalie Shoemaker was recently published in Thomson Reuters Westlaw Today for her article examining the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Berk v. Choy and its implications for Florida medical negligence litigators.

The article explores how the decision may shape federal pleading standards and medical malpractice litigation moving forward.

At Swope, Rodante our attorneys don’t just follow developments in the law — they help lead the conversation around them.

Great turnout for the Florida Justice Association Justice Tour Membership Appreciation Reception. It was a pleasure to connect with colleagues from across the civil justice community and to hear directly about the important work FJA continues to do to protect access to the courts for Floridians.

Events like this are a strong reminder of what the organization is fighting for—and why that work matters.

As FJA President R. Waylon Thompson shared:
“In the face of adversity, it is ‘just us’—the trial lawyers—who stand as guardians of our clients’ rights; it is just us who ensure that the injured have a voice, their stories are heard, and that they receive the justice they deserve.”

We’re proud to stand alongside attorneys in Tampa and across the state in support of that mission.

Yesterday we had the chance to celebrate something that deserves recognition every day—our Administrative Professionals.

The work we do for our clients simply would not be possible without this extraordinary group. Behind every case milestone, every deadline met, every client supported during a difficult moment, and every result achieved, there is a member of our administrative team going the extra mile and putting in the extra effort.

They understand what’s at stake for the people we represent. They know the impact this work has on our clients’ lives—and they show up every day ready to help make a difference.

We’re grateful for our longtime team members who have helped shape who we are, and for the newer faces already making their mark.

Thank you for everything you do for our clients and for each other. We’re proud to celebrate you.
