Fort Lauderdale firm Wilbur Smith Attorneys at Law announced Tuesday they had hired a new director of business development.

Sarah Griffin is an alumna of Florida SouthWestern State College, where she earned a degree in biology, and prior to joining Wilbur Smith, she worked in real estate sales for MLS Realty.

“We are thrilled to welcome Sarah to our team. As our firm continues to grow and advance, we have no doubt that Sarah will be an invaluable resource for both our firm and our clients,” said Managing Partner Sawyer C. Smith.

The firm said adding Griffin, who is multilingual, will add to the diversity of the Wilbur Smith team and ensure that the firm stays on the front edge of the legal market and is positioned to “sidestep many operational and strategic traditions in the legal field that are so quickly becoming outdated.”

Griffin is “excited to expand on the firm’s commitment to honoring its decades-long tradition of providing dedicated legal services to the Southwest Florida community while breaking new ground for the firm’s future development,” the firm said in a statement.
