Nick Primrose Joins Jones Walker to Bolster Florida Advocacy
Nick Primrose, the former regulatory compliance chief at JAXPORT, has joined Jones Walker LLP as special counsel in Tallahassee. His transition into the firm’s government relations practice marks a strategic effort to expand legal and legislative advocacy for clients operating within the complex maritime and logistics sectors.
