Abbey Kaplan, founding member and shareholder of Kluger, Kaplan, Silverman, Katzen & Levine, has been named to Florida Trend’s 2026 Florida 500, an annual recognition of 500 of the state’s most influential business leaders across more than 60 industries. 

The Florida 500 is the result of an extensive research initiative by Florida Trend’s editorial team, drawing on regional business networks, hundreds of interviews and months of in-depth reporting. The list recognizes leaders whose influence extends beyond their organizations and who help shape their industries and communities. 

Since co-founding Kluger Kaplan in 2009, Kaplan has built a distinguished litigation practice representing businesses and individuals in complex commercial disputes. His experience spans business and corporate litigation, real estate and construction disputes, securities and financial fraud, probate and estate matters, intellectual property and other complex litigation. 

In addition to his trial work, Kaplan led the expansion of Kluger Kaplan’s dedicated Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) practice, bringing together experienced litigators and former judges to provide clients with effective pathways to resolve complex disputes outside the courtroom. The practice reflects his recognition of the growing demand for experienced mediators and innovative approaches to dispute resolution.
