Cari Lynn Roth

I have 30 years of public and private sector legal and legislative experience and I am a recognized leader in government relations and environmental and land use law. My broad knowledge of state government and the people in it, combined with my attention to detail and bottom line approach to solving client problems makes me an effective advocate in the halls of government.

My legal and legislative practice focuses on state and local government issues, including land use, water and environmental law, growth management and infrastructure issues, and intergovernmental relations. I also have significant experience in special district law.

I served as chair of a statewide firm’s land use and government consulting practices and worked for four years as General Counsel and Assistant Secretary of the Florida Department of Community Affairs in Tallahassee where I played a lead role in negotiating major growth management legislation. As General Counsel, I was involved in many inter-agency efforts, particularly those with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Florida Department of Transportation and all the regional Water Management Districts. Currently, I chair the State’s Environmental Regulation Commission by Governor’s appointment.
