History
In 1970, Richard Adams, Charles Gray, Gordon Harris and Richard Robinson join their practices to become Gray, Adams, Harris & Robinson P.A.
In January 1990, the firm expands its presence on Florida's Space Coast by merging with Kirschenbaum and Peeples, an established Brevard County firm.
In January 1996, GrayRobinson merges with the Melbourne firm of Nohrr & Nohrr. A few months later, the firm moves its Brevard County headquarters to Melbourne.
In February 1996, the firm continues its statewide expansion, establishing an office in Tallahassee to create a permanent presence in the state capital and further expand the firm's state governmental practice.
In August 2000, the firm adds more depth to the firm's capabilities and expertise in the state's capital by adding six additional attorneys to the Tallahassee office.
Expanding into the Tampa market in September 2000, the firm merges with Shackleford, Farrior, Stallings & Evans, a firm with nearly a century of history in Tampa. The merger solidifies the combined firm's presence along the "Interstate 4 Corridor" - a magnet for a number of new companies and industries.
In January 2001, GrayRobinson merges with Lane, Trohn, Bertrand & Vreeland. Formed in 1926, it is one of the largest firms in Lakeland.

Today - with its foundation firmly grounded in the community and its vision focused on the future - GrayRobinson continues to be a major player in the state's dynamic growth.
Diversity Mission Statement
GrayRobinson is committed to excellence and we recognize diversity of ideas and experiences is critical to fulfilling our commitment. That commitment is demonstrated in many ways: by our employment practices and policies which ensure equal opportunity and foster a discrimination and harassment free workplace; opportunities for advancement to shareholder for women and minority lawyers; and our active recruiting efforts at law schools. GrayRobinson continuously reviews its recruiting, hiring, mentoring and training practices and initiatives.
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
