Michael Hensley and Lauren Fenton-Valdivia were quoted in a Law360 Pulse article titled, “Carlton Fields Adds 8 Bressler Amery Attys to Litigation Team.” The story focuses on the recent group of eight attorneys who joined Carlton Fields with Hensley and Fenton-Valdivia joining the firm as shareholders.
When asked about the group’s move, Fenton-Valdivia stated “We practice in a variety of different areas of litigation and when we were first considering a move, we were really looking for a firm that recognizes and appreciates the depth of litigation. For those of us who are in Florida, we recognize that Carlton Fields is really known as a powerhouse of litigation.”
Hensley commented on the team of associates they brought with them, stating, “The senior associates are just the up-and-coming true trial attorneys of New Jersey and New York bars [as well as Florida]. We're very proud of them. We think that this is going to provide them an opportunity to further shine their already solid skills.”
