This week, the 2025 Summer Associate Class visited one of Miami’s most iconic neighborhoods: the Design District. The Miami Design District is an internationally recognized hub of art, design, architecture, and—of course—luxury retail. It also happens to be a long-standing Bilzin Sumberg client.

During our visit, we learned about the history of the Design District

On Friday, June 13, the 2025 Summer Associate class, along with Jessica Buchsbaum, joined a dozen other South Florida law firms for a volunteer day at Feeding South Florida.
