Tampa law firm GrayRobinson hosted an Oct. 4 event that brought together three prominent economists to discuss the economic outlook for 2023 — and beyond — at both the national and state level.

Held at the University Club in downtown Tampa, the panel featured Raymond James Chief Economist Eugenio Aleman, Florida Chamber Foundation Research Director Dave Sobush and Mike Skordeles, senior U.S. macro strategist at Truist Advisory Services Inc. GrayRobinson shareholder David Hendrix, who also leads the firm’s banking and finance team, moderated the discussion.
