Dean Mead Law Firm Expands Government Relations Practice

Dean Mead has welcomed Marc W. Dunbar, Christopher Moya and Jennifer P. Ungru into its statewide government relations and lobbying practice. Hailing from the Tallahassee office of national law firm Jones Walker LLP, the three political insiders bring three additional team members: Daniel Russell, Will D. Hall and Angela Bonds. The strategic alliance between the two firms bolsters Dean Mead’s footprint, making it one of the largest groups of legislative and executive branch lobbyists in Florida.

“Marc, Chris and Jenn will blend their keen insight and political prowess with the exceptional talent of our firm’s lobbying and advocacy team led by Marc’s dad, Pete Dunbar,” said Dean Mead President Marc Chapman.

In just five years, Dean Mead has grown its Tallahassee office to 14 attorneys and three government relations professionals. The expanded team collectively represents regional and national companies in a variety of industries including insurance; healthcare; agribusiness; hospitality; education; regulated industries such as gambling, alcohol and cannabis; telecommunications; energy; and utilities.

“Combining our resources greatly benefits both firms,” Chapman said. “With the addition of these professionals to Dean Mead’s roster, we begin a strategic alliance with Jones Walker that effectively leverages the talents of each firm and creates several unique partnership opportunities to meet the growing needs of the clients we serve.”

Dean Mead is a business law firm providing full-service legal representation, government relations and lobbying throughout Florida. The firm has six offices with 62 attorneys and three government relations professionals in multiple practice areas.
