Director

Stephanie Toothaker

Stephanie Toothaker is a director in the firm's land use, governmental relations and procurement practice. She is an accomplished attorney with more than 10 years of experience representing large corporations and companies seeking land development entitlements. Her specific expertise on these matters has focused on developments of regional impact, land use plan amendments, zoning modifications and site plan approvals.

Stephanie regularly represents clients before governmental entities such as the Broward County Commission, the Palm Beach County Commission, the City of Ft. Lauderdale and other municipalities within Broward County.

She is also a valuable resource for clients during the government procurement process. Stephanie assists with analyzing and understanding the procedures for requests for letters of interest, request for proposals, invitations to bid and request for qualifications. In addition to counseling them on drafting responses for these processes, she is capable of lobbying appropriate entities and offering client representation at hearings.

Her government experience also extends into the political arena where she served as special counsel to U.S. Senator Bob Graham. In 2004, she served on the Kerry-Edwards legal team, and more recently, Toothaker assisted as co-lead counsel for Broward County for the Obama-Biden legal team.

Among her achievements, Toothaker has represented a $50 million state-of-the-art dry stack marina, a $500 million hotel and condo-hotel redevelopment condominium, a 523,000 square foot commercial and industrial park in the Town of Davie and successfully drafted and lobbied for legislation which amended the Florida statutes to change the legal boundaries of Broward and Palm Beach Counties.

Prior to joining Tripp Scott, Toothaker was a partner with Ruden McClosky.
