About Edward L.
Edward L. Larsen built his foundation in numbers and law. He earned an MBA in Accountancy from Monmouth University, followed by an LL.M. in Taxation from Villanova University School of Law. He also holds a J.D. from New York Law School. Those academic credentials supply both technical depth and context for the kinds of disputes he handles.
Larsen’s career spans state and federal practice. He is admitted in New Jersey, Florida and New York, and he holds admissions to several federal courts including the 11th and 3rd Circuits and the U.S. Supreme Court. He has been active in the Florida State Bar since 2005. His progression into courtrooms, arbitration panels and mediation settings reflects a steady immersion in contested matters.
His professional qualifications include several Florida-specific credentials. He is a Florida Qualified Arbitrator, approved by the Florida Supreme Court, and a Certified Circuit Civil Mediator through the same court system. The Florida State Bar has recognized him as Board Certified in Business Litigation, a designation that signals concentrated work in commercial disputes rather than a generalist practice.
Larsen has taken on roles in local bar governance and professional organizations. He served as president of the Collier County Bar Foundation from 2021 to 2022 and as president of the Collier County Bar Association from 2022 to 2023. Earlier, he chaired the Collier County Bar Trial Lawyer Section in 2015–2016 and led the McDonnell Inn of Court as president during the same period. Those leadership posts reflect long involvement in the local legal community and peer education.
Courtroom work, arbitration and mediation all appear in Larsen’s practice profile. His accountancy and tax training inform dispute resolution in business settings, especially cases where financial detail and regulatory questions intersect. He has handled civil litigation at trial and appellate levels, and he often participates in alternate dispute resolution processes that resolve business conflicts outside of prolonged litigation.
Colleagues describe him as steady in high-pressure proceedings and thorough in preparing complex filings. He balances technical legal analysis with practical case management. That approach is useful whether he is presenting evidence at trial, conducting private arbitrations, or guiding parties through mediation.
As of 2026, Larsen continues to practice in multiple jurisdictions and remains active in local bar leadership and dispute resolution panels. His current practice centers on business litigation, arbitration and civil mediation matters.
