Welcome to the South County Division!

In 2010, the Sarasota County Bar Association recognized that a significant number of Sarasota County lawyers practice in the communities of Venice, Englewood, Osprey, Nokomis, and North Port and that such lawyers are unable by reason of geography to fully benefit from the programs and activities of the Association which are centered in greater Sarasota. The mission of the Division is to offer South County lawyers the opportunity to participate in organized voluntary bar activities accessible to them and developed by them so as to be directed to their particular needs and interests, within the overall mission of the Association.

Dues-paying members of the Association who principally practice law or reside within that area of Sarasota County, Florida, lying south of the alignment of Central Sarasota Parkway as extended to the boundaries of Sarasota County, but excluding any portion of Siesta Key, or within Charlotte County, Florida, qualify for membership in the South County Division.
