Orlando

After having firmly established itself in Atlanta, North Highland identified real opportunity in Orlando and soon gained a major entertainment company as its first large client there. In 1997, Orlando became home to North Highland's second office. Since our office opened, we have been so successful that we have become a key support team in the launch of other North Highland offices throughout the country.

We serve clients in a range of industries including entertainment, healthcare, publishing, insurance, financial services, educational institutions, telecommunications, food service, county and local government, and the Armed Forces. We continue the spirit of ownership that is the cornerstone of North Highland's culture by engaging every office member in at least one strategic investment project focused on office improvement and growth.
