'Carlos is a person of the utmost integrity and Corcoran Partners is lucky to have him.'

Carlos San Jose has joined Corcoran Partners as Deputy General Counsel.

Based in Miami, San Jose brings his extensive experience in legislative advocacy, municipal operations and legal consulting to the firm’s expanding client base across their five Florida offices and in Washington, D.C.

“We are thrilled to welcome Carlos to Corcoran Partners,” said Michael Corcoran, Founding Partner and CEO. “Carlos is a skilled communicator who takes a strategic, results-driven approach to law, government affairs, and public policy. We are confident he will quickly become an integral part of our team and a trusted advocate for our clients.”

Managing Partner Matthew Blair added, “Carlos’s addition will strengthen our local and statewide capabilities for our growing client base. His background in government affairs, coupled with his legal expertise, positions him to help our clients navigate complex policy and regulatory challenges.”

Before joining Corcoran Partners, San Jose served as the Director of Intergovernmental Affairs/Assistant State Attorney for the City of Hialeah, where he formulated the City’s legislative initiatives at the federal and state levels. From 2021 to 2024, he served as Deputy Chief of Staff for Hialeah Mayor Esteban Bovo.

“Carlos has worked for me since 2018 dating back to my time as chair of the Miami Dade County Commission,” Bovo said.

“During his time with me, I have been able to witness Carlos flourish in a variety of roles including campaign manager for my mayoral campaign, Deputy Chief of Staff, and most recently as Director of Intergovernmental Affairs. In this latest role, Carlos has diligently worked with the City of Hialeah’s legislative delegation to secure historic levels of funding through the appropriations process. I am excited to see Carlos embrace this new chapter in his professional life and congratulate Corcoran Partners for this valued addition to their team.”

San Jose’s career in politics started on the campaign trail, where he managed Bovo’s 2021 mayoral campaign. He also spent time working on former U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio’s 2016 re-election campaign and served as an immigration and policy intern in Rubio’s Miami office.

“I have known Carlos San Jose for nearly a decade and have seen him grow professionally and personally,” said Miami-Dade Commissioner and former state Sen. Rene Garcia. “I truly admire his ability to connect with people, build relationships, and his diligent work ethic. Carlos is a person of the utmost integrity and Corcoran Partners is lucky to have him.”

Rep. Alex Rizo added, “Carlos has been a vital asset to the City of Hialeah in their legislative efforts here in Tallahassee. I have been able to see him grow professionally and have been proud to work with him during his time at the city.”

San Jose is actively involved in his community, serving on the boards of the Monsignor Edward Pace High School and St. John the Apostle Catholic School. His leadership also extends to serving on the City’s Retirement Pension Board and as Vice Chair of the Hialeah Centennial Celebration Committee. He earned his law degree from Florida International University and his undergraduate degree in political science from the University of Miami.

    I just received $6618 working off my Iaptop this month. And if you think that’s cool, my divorced friend has twin toddlers and made 0ver $­15781 her first m0nth. It feels so good making so much money when other people have to work for so much less.
