What Kubicki Draper does

Kubicki Draper is a privately held, full-service law firm headquartered in Miami, Florida, founded by Gene Kubicki approximately 60 years ago (firmographics indicate 1963; other sources reference 1960). The firm employs over 250 attorneys across 12 offices spanning Florida (Miami, Pensacola, Tallahassee, Orlando, Fort Myers, Key West, Jacksonville, Ocala, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach) and Alabama (Mobile), serving insurance carriers and corporate clients throughout the Southeast U.S.

The firm's core product is professional legal services, organized into practice groups spanning insurance defense (First-Party Property, Personal Injury Protection, General Liability, Premises Liability, Products Liability, Automobile/Motorized Vehicles), Insurance Coverage analysis, Bad Faith and Claims Handling defense, Appellate Practice (including board-certified representation up to the U.S. Supreme Court), Pre-Suit Settlement Assistance, Construction, and Hospitality/Retail/Premises work. Underlying technical infrastructure is described only generically as a "legal services technology platform" with no disclosed proprietary AI, automation, or workflow tooling.

The business model is professional services billed through attorney hourly rates, flat fees, and contingency arrangements, with multi-year engagements and an enterprise field-sales go-to-market. Client acquisition combines direct engagement with insurance carrier claims departments and corporate counsel, a multi-channel content engine (webinars, CE/CLE programs, newsletters, legal updates, success stories), and active participation in industry conferences such as the FDLA Liability Claims Conference and Florida Bar Annual Convention. The firm is privately held with no disclosed parent, investor, or external capital, consistent with traditional U.S. partnership-style law firm ownership.
