Florida Bar President Ramón A. Abadin visited with students, faculty and staff at Stetson University College of Law on Wednesday, Nov. 4.
Abadin is a partner in the Miami office of Sedgwick LLP, where he focuses on complex commercial, insurance and corporate litigation. As president of the state bar association, his focus is on technology and challenging Florida lawyers to recognize the transformation revolutionizing the legal services marketplace.
Abadin joined the Bar’s Board of Governors in 2006. He has chaired the Legal Education Committee of the Vision 2016 Commission, an in-depth study of the future practice of law.
His family immigrated to the United States from Cuba in 1961, when he was two years old. His father, who was a lawyer in Cuba, worked odd jobs in this country to support his family.
As a young man, the Florida Bar president worked his way through college with jobs that included laboring on a dredge boat in the Mississippi River. As an adult, he has had a taste for adventure, trying anything from rafting to cave diving.
He is married to Kimberly Cook, who is managing partner in the same Miami office of Sedgwick LLP, and they have three children.
