In a recent opinion piece published by the Miami Herald, former U.S. Senator George LeMieux highlights that Florida enjoys an unprecedented chance to shape federal—and even global—policy, remarking that the state has “never had a better opportunity to influence federal policy — in fact, world policy.”
He urges Floridians to capitalize on the administration’s Florida-heavy cabinet by advocating for major initiatives such as relocating NASA’s headquarters to the Sunshine State, which he sees as an engine for jobs and economic growth as mentioned in a previous article. Beyond aerospace, a spotlight on Florida could also lend itself to enhancing the state's transportation systems and defense contracts.
For more than twenty-five years, George S. LeMieux has been lead trial counsel in federal and state courts, in civil and regulatory matters, before juries, judges and arbitrators. His clients include financial institutions (Wells Fargo, TD Bank), telecommunications companies (AT&T), healthcare providers (Cleveland Clinic, Broward Health, Memorial Healthcare, Elevance Health), real estate developers (Ram Realty Services, Falcone Group), and during his career prominent individuals including President-elect George W. Bush, Governor Jeb Bush, and Raymond Perelman. He has argued cases before the United States Supreme Court, the Supreme Court of Florida, and Florida’s intermediate appellate courts. His practice includes defending clients in enforcement matters brought by state attorneys general, defending clients in defamation cases, advocating for clients in administrative law proceedings, and counseling governmental bodies on public records and public meeting requirements. He has successfully litigated business disputes and intellectual property cases to verdict; his practice also includes professional liability defense.
