Shutts & Bowen LLP is pleased to announce Orlando Business Litigation partner Benjamin Elliott has recently been elected President of the Orlando Chapter of the Federal Bar Association (FBA). Prior to being elected President, Ben served as President-Elect for the FBA.
“I am honored to serve as President of Orlando’s Federal Bar Association,” said Ben. “I look forward to working with fellow board members for the benefit of our legal community and continuing the organization’s great work.”
The Federal Bar Association (FBA), founded in 1920, is dedicated to the advancement of the science of jurisprudence and to promoting the welfare, interests, education, and professional development of all attorneys involved in federal law. Their members run the gamut of federal practice: attorneys practicing in small to large legal firms, attorneys in corporations and federal agencies, and members of the judiciary. The FBA is the catalyst for communication between the bar and the bench, as well as the private and public sectors.
The Orlando Chapter of the Federal Bar Association is an organization committed to the interests, education, and professional development of all federal court practitioners. Membership in the Orlando Chapter gives attorneys access to events, including CLE seminars, brown bag luncheons with local judges and federal agency heads, the annual morning at the federal courthouse for young lawyers, and marquee events such as the State of the District Luncheon. These events draw together the range of our Chapter’s members, including practitioners from firms of all sizes, government lawyers, in-house corporate counsel, and members of the federal judiciary.
