Robert Ian MacLaren, II Attorney at Law

Mr. MacLaren has substantial experience as a South Florida real estate attorney, having worked through every phase of the real estate asset cycle. This foundation permits guidance, advice and representation to be provided in a wide range of matters and particularly those of a unique nature. As an example, Mr. MacLaren has represented the two broadband cable entities that brought submerged cables ashore in and to Boca Raton and, early in his career, successfully argued a “homestead” case before the Florida Supreme Court that established one of the guiding principles governing homestead descent and distribution in Florida. Through his desire to help clients achieve their project goals, Mr. MacLaren has developed an expertise in representing clients involved in the development and operation of university affiliated research and development parks. He was the South Florida real estate attorney who represented the Master Developer of the Florida Atlantic Research and Development Park, which has become one of the most successful research and development parks of this type in the world and serving as the General Counsel to the Treasure Coast Research, Education and Development Authority in the establishment of the Treasure Coast Research Park on the campus of the University of Florida in Fort Pierce, Florida.
