WSHC+B partner and Chair of the Firm’s Appellate Practice Group, Edward Guedes, was recently featured in the Miami Herald for his role in representing the City of Miami Beach in a legal dispute over the future of Ocean Drive. A Miami-Dade Circuit Court judge ruled that the city must restore two-way traffic to the iconic roadway, challenging Miami Beach’s efforts to maintain a pedestrian plaza.
During the hearing, attorneys for the Clevelander hotel accused the city of delaying compliance with the ruling. Ed countered that Miami Beach is taking steps to comply while also pursuing an appeal. “The city has received proposals from contractors for the repainting and other work that would be required to comply,” he explained, pushing back against assertions that Miami Beach is avoiding the court’s order.
Ed is Board Certified in Appellate Practice by the Florida Bar and is chair of the firm’s Appellate Practice Group. He has litigated dozens of appeals before the Florida Supreme Court, Florida’s district courts of appeal, and the U.S. Courts of Appeals in a wide variety of matters, including medical malpractice, premises liability, probate, First Amendment and constitutional litigation, family law, state and federal administrative rule-making and regulation, home rule authority and preemption, election law, civil rights, land use and zoning, intellectual property, and labor and employment issues.
