Kristen Fiore is our Latest Featured Speaker!

Our latest featured speaker is Kristen Fiore of Akerman LLP!

Kristen is teaching Post-Decision Practice at our upcoming 11th Circuit Court of Appeals Boot Camp: The Nuts and Bolts program.

This program is set for September 17 and 19, 2024 (Kristen is speaking on September 19th).  It is designed to teach the attorney new to appeals at the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals Boot Camp everything – or most everything – they need to know to handle an appeal at the 11th Circuit. Attorneys looking for an Eleventh Circuit refresher will also benefit from the program. It is based on our very popular 9th Circuit program, held last year and in 2021.

Kristen was highly acclaimed by our attendees when she spoke at our Preserving the Trial Record for Appeal in Florida Civil Cases program last year. You can purchase a recording of that program here

Board certified in Appellate Practice by The Florida Bar, Kristen Fiore’s practice focuses on complex appellate matters. Prior to joining Akerman, Kristen served as a senior staff attorney for Florida Supreme Court Justice Barbara Pariente and a staff attorney for Fourth District Court of Appeal Judge Fred Hazouri. During her clerkships at both the highest and intermediate levels of appellate courts in Florida, she reviewed hundreds of briefs and participated in countless appeals, exposing her to a broad range of appellate issues and providing clients invaluable insight in framing compelling arguments and preservation of error issues during the trial stage of litigation.

Kristen’s extensive experience encompasses civil and administrative cases touching on a wide range of law, including constitutional issues, discovery, class actions, damages, bankruptcy, malpractice, probate, Indian law, taxation, and family, among others. Significant areas of focus in her appellate work include financial, insurance, and labor and employment disputes.

Prior to entering the practice of law, Kristen held several roles in human resources and general management in the financial services and consulting industries. Kristen’s diverse background provides her unique perspective into the intricate issues facing her clients.

We are so glad to have you back Kristen!
