Cozen O’Connor Expands South Florida Presence, Adds 11 Attorneys in 2026

Miami, November 9, 2026 - Cozen O'Connor continues its expansion in South Florida, adding 11 attorneys across its Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Boca Raton offices in 2026. The additions bolster the firm's corporate, real estate, and litigation groups, establish a new Fraud & Recovery practice, and strengthen its ability to serve clients across South Florida.

The hires are part of Cozen O'Connor's broader commitment to the local market, including the opening of its Fort Lauderdale office, as the firm responds to the evolving legal needs of businesses, developers, financial institutions, and other organizations throughout the region.

In Miami, the firm welcomed corporate members Raphael "Raffi" Rosenzweig, who joined from Seyfarth Shaw LLP, and Mark Kahn, who counsels startup clients, along with real estate member Carlos M. Rodriguez, a 25-year South Florida real estate law veteran. Spencer M. Mayer also joined the firm's Miami office as a member of its Global Insurance Department.

In Fort Lauderdale, the firm added litigation counsel Eddie Holiday, further expanding its litigation capabilities in the region.

In Palm Beach County, shareholders David I. Spector, Adam K. Hodges and Andrew M. Loewenstein joined from Holland & Knight in West Palm Beach, along with Fraud & Recovery counsel Matthew Innes and member Joseph Francisco Valdivia. Spector chairs and Loewenstein serves as vice chair of the firm's new Fraud & Recovery practice. In Boca Raton, James J. Duffy joined as a member.

"These additions reflect our continued investment in South Florida and our commitment to serving the region's growing business community," said Jason Domark, Miami office managing partner at Cozen O'Connor. "By expanding key practice areas with experienced attorneys, we are well positioned to support both longstanding clients and companies entering the market as their needs evolve."

"South Florida continues to attract businesses and investment from across the country and around the world," said Scott Bettridge, vice chair, office managing partner of Cozen O'Connor's Miami office and chair of the firm's Immigration Practice. "As companies establish and expand operations here, they need legal counsel with a strong understanding of the local market and the resources to support their business needs nationally and internationally."
