Last week, South Florida’s business elite gathered high above the iconic Las Olas Boulevard for an extraordinary evening of sophistication, connection, and influence at the RAC VIP Business Mixer, hosted by none other than the nationally recognized law firm Dickinson Wright.
From the moment the elevator doors opened to the sleek 17th floor offices, guests were immersed in an atmosphere of modern elegance and prestige. The firm’s stunning space set the tone for an unforgettable night, where meaningful business connections flowed as smoothly as the fine wine being served.
The evening was elevated even further by attorney Michael Gnesin, the ultimate “host with the most,” who turned heads in a dapper white suit jacket that looked as if he had stepped straight out of the Frank Sinatra era. But Michael wasn’t the only star of the evening. Many of Dickinson Wright’s accomplished attorneys were in attendance, mingling effortlessly with guests and creating a rare opportunity for attendees to connect with a dynamic team of legal professionals under one roof.
With specialties spanning corporate law, real estate, banking and finance, mergers and acquisitions, employment law, business succession, and more, the Dickinson Wright team made a powerful impression. Their presence reflected not only the depth of legal services the firm offers, but also its commitment to being a valuable resource for the South Florida business community. Guests were truly impressed by the firm’s 146-year rich history, national reputation, and the warmth and professionalism of every attorney in the room.
Attendees enjoyed gourmet hors d’oeuvres and exceptional wines while mingling with an impressive roster of decision-makers, entrepreneurs, executives, and industry leaders. This wasn’t your average mixer; it was a carefully curated experience for professionals ready to level up their networks and explore real opportunity.
The event highlighted exactly what makes RAC South Florida so powerful: a commitment to uniting Russian-speaking and American business professionals through elite, thoughtfully designed experiences that foster real relationships and tangible growth.
We extend our sincere thanks to Dickinson Wright for their exceptional hospitality, attention to detail, and for opening their stunning offices to our RAC South Florida community. The ambiance, professionalism, and energy of the evening will not soon be forgotten.
