'''Beggs & Lane''' is a Pensacola law firm that dates back to [[1883]], making it the oldest continuous law practice in Florida. The firm was founded as '''Blount & Blount''' by brothers [[William Alexander Blount, Sr.|William]] and [[Alexander Clement Blount, Jr.|Alexander Blount]]. Former Florida Supreme Court Judge [[Francis B. Carter]] joined the firm in [[1907]], and subsequent partners included [[J. E. D. Yonge]], [[E. Dixie Beggs, Sr.]] and [[Bert Lane]]. It was shortened to its current name in {{date needed}}.

[[J. Nixon Daniel III]] is the firm's current managing partner.

After holding offices in its founders' [[Blount Building]], the firm moved a renovated warehouse at [[501 Commendencia Street]] in [[2002]], increasing their total floor space from 19,000 to 26,000 square feet.<ref>"After nearly 120 years, Beggs & Lane relocates." ''Pensacola News Journal'', August 2, 2002.</ref> In [[2008]], they began leasing annex space on the first floor of the recently built [[Lofts at Alcaniz Centre]], and they hired former U.S. Attorney [[Gregory Miller]] to open a new Tallahassee location.
