Once a year, the Ralph E. Boyer Institute on Condominium and Cluster Development is hosted by the University of Miami School of Law. The Institute has spent decades earning its reputation as the state’s premier forum for condominium, homeowners’ association, and planned development law. It is the gathering where attorneys, general counsel, and industry leaders shaping Florida’s community associations come together for elite networking and serious professional education.
This year, Ball Janik LLP is proud to return as a Platinum Sponsor – a role the firm has held since 2022, and a reflection of how central the Boyer Institute has become to the firm’s engagement with Florida’s real estate and construction communities.
The 51st Boyer Institute Condominium & Cluster Development Conference takes place September 24 to 25, 2026, at The Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, FL, and will bring the latest legislative and legal developments in condominium, HOA, and community association law directly to the practitioners navigating them. For an industry facing constant legislative change, that kind of access to current information, peers, and to the people writing and interpreting the law, is what makes the Institute indispensable.
“Ball Janik is honored to continue supporting the Boyer Institute and the important work it does to bring together the professionals shaping Florida’s community association landscape,” said James C. Prichard, Managing Partner of Ball Janik LLP. “Our Platinum sponsorship reflects our commitment to staying engaged with the issues affecting community associations and property owners, while building relationships that help advance thoughtful, practical solutions across the state.”
That commitment shows up in the firm’s day-to-day work. Ball Janik’s construction defect attorneys represent homeowners’ associations, and condominiums throughout Florida in complex construction defect and insurance recovery matters, taking a collaborative, business-oriented approach – from evaluating claims and preserving evidence to building Chapter 558 strategies that move clients toward the repairs their properties need. With offices in Orlando, Miami, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, and Sarasota, the firm is positioned to meet clients where they are, across the state.
It’s that statewide presence, paired with a genuine investment in the community it serves, that makes the Boyer Institute a natural home for Ball Janik. The firm looks forward to another year of connecting with peers across Florida’s real estate and construction communities – and to continuing a partnership that, five years in, keeps proving its value.
