Neisen Kasdin - Co-Office Managing Partner, Akerman
In this episode, we sat down with a couple of scotches and a legend of Miami Beach, Neisen Kasdin.
Born and raised on the Beach, Neisen has witnessed its transformation firsthand. From his teenage years, he was drawn to politics with dreams of one day becoming president. That passion led him to Northwestern University, where he studied political science, and then back to Florida for a law degree at UF.
Returning to South Beach, Neisen served as a Miami Beach commissioner and eventually as Mayor of Miami Beach. Today, he’s one of the most sought-after land use attorneys in Miami, with a résumé that includes iconic projects like Brickell City Centre, the Miami Design District, and the Faena District.
Neisen shares a sharp, candid perspective on where Greater Miami is headed and the big challenges we face: transportation, affordability, and education. It’s a conversation that blends history, politics, real estate, and a few well-earned laughs over scotch.
