Sean Gellis
Your Bridge Between Agency and Industry
As Florida’s most recent FDOT General Counsel to enter private practice, I bring deep understanding of how the agency approaches procurement, permitting, and project delivery to help companies navigate complex transportation matters efficiently.
Why Experience Matters
Having served as FDOT General Counsel I understand:
– How procurement decisions are made
– What FDOT looks for in proposals and permits
– Common compliance pitfalls and how to avoid them
– How to structure arguments that resonate with agency staff
– The practical realities of project delivery
This experience helps my clients:
– Present stronger proposals
– Resolve unnecessary delays
– Resolve disputes efficiently
– Navigate regulations confidently
– Build productive agency relationships
Working with FDOT, Not Against It
My goal is to help my clients work effectively within Florida’s transportation framework. Most delays and disputes arise from misunderstandings about process and requirements, not from adversarial positions. Understanding how FDOT operates helps contractors and consultants achieve their goals while meeting agency requirements.
