Kelly Melchiondo

As a partner with Bilzin Sumberg’s Construction Law and Litigation Group, Kelly Melchiondo’s practice focuses on complex litigation, in both jury and non-jury trials, of claims involving construction and design defects, construction contract claims, and product liability at the trial and appellate levels in federal and state courts. Her practice also includes product liability defense work.

Notable activities include representing EPIC Hotel in a construction defect case that resulted in a favorable settlement. She also worked with a components manufacturer of CPVC fire sprinkler piping and obtained a favorable settlement for Medline Industries Inc. in a construction default suit related to its 830,000-square-foot products distribution facility.

Outside of the courtroom, Melchiondo is active in the South Florida community. She is the Vice President of the Miami Children’s Museum Board of Directors and has served on the board for the last decade. She was also a member of the Museum’s Executive Committee for six of those ten years.

She is also involved with the Building Committee for Branches and is City Theatre’s past chairwoman of the board.

This is why Kelly Melchiondo received Connect CRE’s 2024 Florida & Gulf Coast Lawyers in Real Estate Award. The award celebrates real estate attorneys who have distinguished themselves in their practice and the larger community.
