Gunster shareholder Jack Rice was recently featured in The Palm Beach Post for representing U.S. Ambassador to Belgium Bill White and his husband, Bryan Eure, in a historic preservation matter involving plans to renovate and expand their home in West Palm Beach's historic El Cid neighborhood. On behalf of White and Eure, Rice successfully appealed to the West Palm Beach City Commission, which voted unanimously on Sept. 14 to overrule the Historic Preservation Board and waive three requirements tied to the planned second-story addition.
