Coral Gables, FL. Barakat + Bossa is pleased to announce that partner Giacomo Bossa is now a Board
Certified Real Estate Lawyer. Board certification is Florida’s official, independent determination of a
lawyer’s expertise to practice in real estate law. It is the gold standard for Florida lawyers, representing a
recognition by a lawyer’s peers that they have attained a level of professional expertise in their chosen
fields. Mr. Bossa is also Board Certified in Business Litigation.
More than 100,000 lawyers are eligible to practice law in Florida and only 5,000 are Board Certified in
one of 27 specialties like real estate or business litigation. In Miami-Dade County there are only 34 who
are Board Certified in Real Estate. Florida Bar Board Certified Real Estate Lawyers are highly qualified
specialists in real estate law and this award is intended to properly identify enhanced expertise, special
competence and professionalism that distinguishes them to the public.
“We are thrilled that Giacomo has earned another Board Certification which is a major benefit to our
clients,” notes Brian Barakat, founding partner and also a Board Certified Business Litigation Lawyer for
many years. “This is a culmination of hard work, years of expertise, positive reputation amongst peers
and successfully passing a detailed and comprehensive written exam.”
