Longtime Tampa firm Dwight Darby to merge into SBF

The move will allow SBF to better serve its Tampa clients and accommodate its Tampa-based staff.

At Spoor Bunch Franz, we are always looking for opportunities to better serve our clients, accommodate our staff, and contribute to our community. We are excited to announce that Tampa-based firm Dwight Darby will be merging into SBF, a move that will allow us to do just that.

From auto dealerships to insurance companies to nonprofit organizations, Dwight Darby has served clients all over the Tampa Bay area from its South Tampa location for more than 70 years. With Dwight Darby’s longtime presence in Tampa, the move will allow us to better serve our Tampa clientele, grow SBF’s client base, and increase flexibility for our staff living in Tampa.

The merger will be effective January 1, 2022, and all Dwight Darby employees will stay in their current roles, including partner Dawn Lopez, who has been with the firm for over 28 years. St. Petersburg-based SBF will continue the use of Dwight Darby’s South Tampa location.
