From the Jobsite to the Courtroom

Before he was a construction lawyer, Andrew was a builder. After graduating from Florida State University, he spent several years in hospitality and nightclub management, then joined a general contracting and development firm in Tallahassee, where he rose to Vice President and Primary Qualifier. From 2003 to 2009, he developed raw land into residential communities, managing site work, permitting, scheduling, and subcontractors from the ground up. He also built multifamily housing, shopping centers, offices, restaurants, and nightclubs, along with public-sector projects.

That hands-on experience led him to law school. Andrew earned his J.D. from Nova Southeastern University and has practiced construction law exclusively since, beginning as an associate at a boutique construction law firm, where he was mentored by attorneys Board Certified in Construction Law, and later becoming a partner at a mid-size construction law firm in Fort Lauderdale. He also served as an Adjunct Professor at Broward College, teaching construction law to students entering the industry.

In 2026, Andrew founded Andrew V. Cobbe, P.A. to bring that same builder's perspective directly to South Florida contractors, owners, and associations.
