The team at Lieser Skaff is pleased to announce that managing partners Ghada Skaff and Jeffrey Lieser have once again earned a place on Florida Trend magazine’s Legal Elite-Notable Managing Partners list for 2025. This highly respected recognition honors top managing attorneys across Florida who demonstrate exemplary leadership, dedication to the legal profession, and meaningful community involvement. Being nominated for a second consecutive year is a particularly meaningful achievement, as it underscores the consistent impact that Attorneys Skaff and Lieser continue to have within their firm, the legal field, and the broader community. Attorneys Skaff and Lieser are honored and humbled to be recognized among this prestigious group once again and remain dedicated to guiding the outstanding legal professionals at Lieser Skaff in the years ahead.
Florida Trend’s Legal Elite list is known for spotlighting distinguished professionals who elevate the legal field through innovation, mentorship, and public service. To be considered for the Notable Managing Partners category, attorneys must first be nominated by their peers. They must also meet several qualifying criteria, including having at least a decade of legal practice, and currently serving as a managing partner (or equivalent) at a firm with ten or more professional staff members. In addition to these professional requirements, nominees must be active mentors to younger attorneys, promote diversity and inclusion within their firms, and demonstrate leadership within professional organizations and community-based efforts.
The selection committee looks for managing partners who stand out not just for their titles, but for their ability to guide, inspire, and foster excellence within their firms and beyond. Attorneys who are chosen to stand among the “Notable Managing Partners” are described as “difference makers,” meaning they positively influence both the legal world and the communities they serve. Honorees are recognized for their ability to effectively manage their law firm while also contributing to a more equitable and engaged legal profession.
For both Ghada Skaff and Jeffrey Lieser, being recognized as Notable Managing Partners for 2025 is a significant and meaningful honor. Their inclusion alongside many of Florida’s most accomplished attorneys reflects their unwavering efforts, not only in managing a thriving law firm but also in shaping the legal landscape through mentorship, service, and innovation. Both partners look forward to continuing to lead the exceptional team at Lieser Skaff and to furthering their commitment to excellence in the years ahead.
