With an established record of creative and effective advocacy, Cindy Laquidara navigates complex litigation matters, from administrative hearings, to federal and state trials and appeals. Her practice serves municipal authorities, private corporations with long-term lease arrangements, companies submitting competitive procurement bids and proposals, general commercial litigation, and energy related matters in dispute resolution pertaining to bid disputes, land use, transportation, contracts, First Amendment, government and utility contracting, environmental issues, and government affairs.

Cindy represents clients in class action litigation where she has obtained summary judgments on pension matters under the ADA and ADAA, as well as under Title VII. She serves as appellate counsel on similar matters with numerous published opinions, from bid disputes to constitutional issues.

A former general counsel for the Consolidated City of Jacksonville and its entities, Cindy is Board Certified by the Florida Bar in City, County & Local Government Law, and advises high-profile government entities on a multitude of diverse matters.

Cindy also places great emphasis on social responsibility.
