Bruce Berman Biography :

Bruce J. Berman is a partner in the law firm of McDermott Will & Emery LLP based in its Miami office. He is a member of the Firm's Trial Department, where his practice encompasses a broad range of commercial disputes, in federal and state trial and appellate courts and in domestic and international arbitration tribunals, involving substantive areas of law including corporate, federal and state securities, aviation, intellectual property (copyright, trademark and unfair competition), health law, real estate and commercial lending (real estate, asset-based and lease financing).

Bruce served, by appointment of the then Chief Justices of the Florida Supreme Court, for three successive terms as a member of the Court's Standing Committee on Standard Jury Instructions in Civil Cases, and was previously appointed by Florida's Supreme Court to its Workgroup on Public Records and to its Court Reporter Certification Planning Committee. Bruce was a two-term past chair of The Florida Bar's Civil Procedure Rules Committee, on which he served for 20 years, and a past chair of The Florida Bar's Rules of Judicial Administration Committee, on which he served for 14 years. He is a continuing member of The Florida Bar’s International Litigation and Arbitration Committee. Bruce was also an original appointee of the Chief Judge of the Miami-Dade County Circuit Court, and served as a member of that court's former Ad Hoc Trial Practices and Procedure Committee, composed of senior trial lawyers in the community with representative ties to various segments of the local and statewide trial bar, serving as liaison between the judiciary and the professional community. He has also served on the Community Board of the New World Symphony in Miami Beach, and is presently a member and Vice President of Legal Affairs of the Board of Directors of South Florida's Daily Bread Food Bank, the largest supplier of food to the hungry in South Florida.

Bruce is the author of Florida Civil Procedure (West Group), a leading treatise on Florida state practice and procedure, published annually since 1998, and has written and lectured on issues relating to commercial litigation and trial certification, including federal and state civil procedure issues. He has also lectured to the state court trial bench on issues of jurisdiction and venue, as part of the faculty of the Florida Conference of Circuit Judges and served as a panelist on discovery in international arbitration in a program conducted by the international arbitration committee of the Florida Bar’s International Law Section. Bruce has been ranked as a leading lawyer in the 2007 edition of Chambers USA for commercial litigation, and has regularly been the subject of biographical reference in Who’s Who in the World, Who’s Who in America, Who’s Who in American Law and Who’s Who in the South and Southwest.
