For more than a century, Jones Foster has been rooted in Palm Beach County. We are pleased that two local publications focused on the people and communities within the county have recognized the firm’s attorneys on their respective 2026 "Top Lawyers" lists through peer review and independent research.

In The Florida Bar RPPTL Section's Spring 2026 edition of ActionLine, Jones Foster attorney Alexander M. Parthemer, LL.M., along with Sasha A. Klein, LL.M., of PwC US, and David S. Sennett, LL.M., Independent IRA Consultant, examine the revised allocation framework of Fla. Stat. § 738.409, including new definitions, calculation methods, and safe harbor provision, offering practical guidance for trustees navigating these complex fiduciary responsibilities.

Jones Foster attorneys combined their extensive knowledge and experience across practice areas to successfully represent the Town of Jupiter in a lawsuit regarding the Town’s right to create a fire department. The legal team included Shareholder and Land Use & Governmental Practice Group Co-Chair Thomas J. Baird, Town Attorney for the Town of Jupiter; litigation shareholders Travis J. Foels and Joanne M. O’Connor; and litigation attorneys Brett T. Lashley and Lainey W. Francisco.
