What Baumann, Gant & Keeley, P.A. does

Baumann, Gant, Keeley & Biondi, P.A. is a Florida-based civil litigation defense law firm operating from three offices in Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, and Jacksonville. Founded by Gary F. Baumann and Brendan N. Keeley, the firm has grown to 22 attorneys (12 partners and 10 associates) serving clients statewide in Florida. Practice areas include construction defect litigation, insurance defense, premises liability, transportation and trucking liability, general liability, professional liability, liquor liability (Florida Dram Shop Act), wrongful death, auto negligence, and more recently securities arbitration and maritime litigation.

The firm is structured as a Professional Association (P.A.) owned and operated by its partner attorneys with no external institutional investment. It generates revenue through professional service fees billed via hourly rates, flat fees, or contingency arrangements depending on the practice area. There are no technology products, AI capabilities, or recurring SaaS contracts; the offering is exclusively partner-led legal representation.

The firm's go-to-market relies on direct enterprise engagement with insurance carriers, construction developers and contractors, commercial property owners, and transportation companies, supplemented by reputation-based channels including attorney credentials (Super Lawyers Rising Stars), defense-bar association memberships (DRI, CLM, FDLA, TIDA, Themis Advocates Group), partner speaking engagements at national legal conferences, and law review publications. Client acquisition is referral-driven and relationship-based rather than marketing-led.
