Courting business

There's no arguing that business is growing ever more complex.

As a result, in cities such as Orlando, Tampa and Miami, the circuit courts have carved out special business courts over the last 10 years that are designed to handle complex litigation.

Now, there's a move afoot to create a business court in the 20th Judicial Circuit, an area that includes Fort Myers and Naples. “We're no longer a third-tier location,” says Kevin Jursinski, a Fort Myers attorney who has been leading the effort to establish a business court for the region.
