What Lewis, Longman & Walker does

Lewis, Longman & Walker, P.A. is a Florida-based law firm founded in 1994 that provides legal services at the intersection of environmental regulation, land use planning, and governmental law. The firm operates across five Florida offices (West Palm Beach headquarters, Jacksonville, St. Petersburg, Tallahassee, and Tampa) with a team of approximately 51–100 employees, including 30+ attorneys, eight of whom are Florida-Bar board-certified. Practice areas are organized into seven core groups — Environmental and Natural Resources, Land Use and Real Estate, Governmental, Legislative/Lobbying and Governmental Affairs, Administrative/Civil and Appellate Litigation, Native American Law, and Agricultural Law — serving industries including government entities, tribal governments, real estate developers, utilities, transportation/infrastructure, and agricultural producers.

The firm's distinguishing value proposition is the prior professional background of its attorneys, many of whom previously served as agency counsel, government regulators, engineers, farmers, scientists, or planners rather than entering law directly. The firm holds a Band 1 Environmental Law ranking from Chambers and Partners, Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent status, and U.S. News Tier 1 Best Law Firm recognition every year since 2010. Its underlying technology is commodity legal-practice infrastructure: LawPay for client payments, ShareFile for document exchange, and WebEx for meetings, with no proprietary platform, AI, or SaaS product.

Revenue is generated through traditional professional services billing — hourly fees, fixed fees, and retainers — with no publicly disclosed pricing. Distribution is exclusively direct through attorney-client relationships across the five Florida offices, with no intermediaries, resellers, or marketplace channels. The firm has three registered lobbyists supporting its governmental affairs practice.
