Cadogan Law

What Cadogan Law does

Cadogan Law is a privately held, woman-owned boutique employment and labor law firm founded in 2005 by Gina M. Cadogan and headquartered at 1200 South Pine Island Road, Suite 370, in Plantation, Florida. The firm provides legal representation to both employees and employers across Florida, including Broward County, West Palm Beach, Plantation, Fort Lauderdale, and Davie, with services covering workplace discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wage and hour disputes, wrongful termination, medical accommodations, whistleblower claims, breach of contract, severance and non-compete agreements, EEOC and FCHR administrative claims, labor and employment compliance, and related business litigation.

The firm's core product is professional legal services delivered by a small team of approximately five to seven professionals, comprising founding partner Gina M. Cadogan, partner Laurie Weinstein, associate attorneys Madison Heckman and Abhishek Ramaswami, paralegal Tyler E. Joseph, and intake specialist Ana C. Hernandez. There are no proprietary technology products; the firm operates a standard professional website with a content blog dating back to 2012 and offers virtual consultations and Spanish-language intake (Hablamos español).

Cadogan Law's business model is a traditional professional services revenue model with hourly or contingency-based legal fees for employment law and business litigation matters. Initial consultations are offered, with fees varying by case complexity and type. Client acquisition is driven by direct sales (phone at 954-371-1607, online contact forms, virtual consultations), referral networks, professional reputation, content marketing through the firm's blog, and active involvement in Florida Bar, American Bar Association, Federal Bar Association-Broward Chapter, National Bar Association, and Broward County Bar Association. Notable case outcomes include a $453,201.01 verdict upheld by the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in a Spirit Airlines ADA case, a $405,000 jury verdict in a Jacksonville sexual harassment matter, and a complete defense verdict for Seadream Yacht Club in federal court in Tampa in April 2023. The firm is independently owned with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or PE/VC backing.
