Cohn & Dussi, a Boston-based law firm with a national practice, has expanded into South Florida, effective Jan. 1, 2026, strengthening its ability to support financial services and equipment finance clients nationwide.
The expansion supports the firm’s continued growth and enhances its full-service capabilities across transactional, litigation, workout, restructuring and insolvency matters.
As part of the expansion, the firm added Howard S. Toland and James J. Webb as partners to lead its Florida practice. Both bring extensive regional experience and align with the firm’s practical, results-driven approach to client service.
Toland is a commercial trial lawyer with decades of experience representing financial institutions and financial services companies in complex commercial litigation, secured lending disputes and creditor-related matters. His practice spans Florida state and federal courts, as well as multiple federal jurisdictions.
Webb focuses his practice on representing financial services and equipment finance clients in commercial litigation, bankruptcy, foreclosure, equipment lessor rights and appellate matters. He has extensive experience handling matters involving creditor and equipment finance law in Florida.
“Florida is a critical market for many of our clients,” Lewis J. Cohn, managing partner at Cohn & Dussi LLC, said. “Adding Howard and Jim strengthens our ability to serve clients with Florida-based matters while maintaining the efficiency, responsiveness, and value-driven service our clients expect from us across jurisdictions.”
