With fourth quarter reports in, The Southern Group was officially the most lucrative firm in the Sunshine State last year. The firm, led by founder Paul Bradshaw, closed out the year with a pair of reports totaling $8.52 million, with $4.79 million flowing in through its legislative lobbying practice and another $3.74 million earned in the executive branch.
Q4 marked The Southern Group’s second consecutive quarter with earnings of $8 million or more, and the firm’s strong finish brought its annual total to $31.48 million, which was good enough to secure the top spot among all lobbying firms in Florida.
