Seacoast National Bank Counsel — Admiralty & Vessel Foreclosure

Fort Lauderdale, FL • Lead Attorneys: Robert Dewitt McIntosh & Adam B. Cooke • PACER-verified 2026-06-04

Independent — Not Akerman LLP

Overview

Fowler White Burnett P.A. is a Florida litigation firm representing Seacoast National Bank as plaintiff in two related proceedings: the admiralty suit against Contessa Marine Research LLC and Anthony Ivankovich (1:25-cv-25958-DPG, Judge Darrin P. Gayles, S.D. Fla.) and the vessel foreclosure action against M/V Slow UR Roll II and SYG (0:26-cv-60289-WPD). CRITICAL DISTINCTION: Fowler White Burnett represents Seacoast in the CMR/Anthony Ivankovich admiralty matter — this is not Akerman LLP. Prior timeline entries incorrectly attributed Akerman to this representation; PACER verification on 2026-06-04 confirmed Fowler White Burnett (McIntosh & Cooke) as counsel of record in 1:25-cv-25958-DPG. The Akerman quad-conflict runs through separate SCB vessel foreclosure and IFB bankruptcy tracks.
