  • Mission Statement

    Our mission is to apply our legal, lobbying, and regulatory backgrounds and skills in ways that enable our clients to define and achieve their goals while supporting our communities as a matter of mission as well as passion. We do this while honoring and continuing an established tradition of serving our clients and communities through the cultivation of relationships based upon respect, loyalty, and integrity.

  • Community Commitment

    As a firm deeply rooted in Florida, we believe in supporting and giving back each day to the communities where we live and work. Innovative programs like Casual Day for a Cause provide employees with a way to support local non-profit organizations throughout the firm's footprint from anywhere in Florida. Employees have given generously to food distribution centers, homeless shelters, children's homes, animal and wildlife charities, crisis centers, educational programs, programs for the elderly, programs for the disabled, and fundraisers for children facing terrible diseases, to name but a few.

    Since the Casual Day for a Cause initiative began, GrayRobinson employees have raised more than $525,000 for charities throughout the state. In addition, firm employees select organizations each holiday season to support by delivering toys and household necessities.

    In June 2016, following the tragedy at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer announced the formation of the OneOrlando Fund. Through the generosity of GrayRobinson employees and the firm's corporate gift, we were honored to donate more than $25,000 to the fund, providing support to the victims of the tragedy and their families. Members of the firm continue to play a key role in the administration of the OneOrlando Fund.
